Perry's Department Store: A Buying Simulation for Junior's, Men's Wear, Children's Wear, and Home Fashion/Giftware

The 3rd Edition of this classic text continues to use the fictitious Perry's Department Store to bridge the gap between the principles of retail buying and mathematical formulas and concepts. The authors use their experience to provide students with the tools to understand a buyer's responsibilities by walking them through the various steps a new buyer would take to complete a six-month dollar plan and a merchandise assortment plan. This new edition emphasizes the professional perspective with the inclusion of two new chapters that go beyond theory to explain the importance of preparation before the buyer enters the market.
