| A beautifully produced, luxury-class book about Minnesota's fabled department stores, from Dayton's to Young-Quinlan. |
 |
| Like many North American department stores, Donaldson's evolved over time; its modern, art-deco front covered an ancient, 1884 fragment, while the large neo-classical block was a vestige of an abortive expansion plan of the 1920s. |
