Reviews for Carson Pirie Scott: Louis Sullivan and the Chicago Department Store (Chicago Architecture and Urbanism)
"Siry's book is not about a store per se. Rather, it is a vehicle for examining how one man's ideas at once expressed and informed defining aspects of material life in his immediate milieu and beyond.... Carson Pirie Scott transcends the confines of ordinary case studies to become a formidable work of cultural history." (Journal of American History)"
