Book excerpt: Take a Tour Through the Mind of a Shopper "What's my test of a book I've been asked to review? Pure selfishness. How intense are the underlinings? How many quotes can I add to my presentations? How often are the things I believe 'for sure' effectively challenged? Phil Lempert's Being the Shopper is off the charts on all three counts. And not-so-incidentally, though Phil is a 'supermarket guru,' this book will inform anyone who markets anything." --Tom Peters, coauthor, In Search of Excellence "Being the Shopper is gourmet reading . . . a delicious and healthy resource for the smart shopper and forward-thinking marketer.
