Wanamaker's Meet Me at the Eagle is a nostalgic journey through the history of one of America's most iconic department stores. Founded by John Wanamaker in 1861, the Philadelphia-based retailer was renowned for its exceptional service and innovative spirit.

Through its pages, Michael J. Lisicky brings to life the store's grandeur, from the majestic bronze eagle in the Grand Court to the elegant Crystal Tea Room. With meticulous research and attention to detail, Lisicky recreates the sights, sounds, and experiences of a bygone era, offering a poignant tribute to a beloved American institution. By exploring Wanamaker's rich history, this book invites readers to step into a world of nostalgia and wonder, where the past and present intersect.
