Discontinued. Miriam Eatchel

Аннотация:

IN EARLY 2007, Edish.com was a thriving discontinued china business with two stores, a huge internet presence, and well over two hundred thousand loyal customers. By January 2009, the company was on the brink of failure. Discontinued: What I Lost and Found During the Recession is the timely and dramatic story of the last six months in the life of Edish.com. The story chronicles the ups and downs of attempting to save the business and of the author’s relationship with her two partners— one a prominent appraiser on Antiques Roadshow, the other a renowned eye surgeon, both her close friends for almost two decades. The book reveals shocking betrayal and profound loyalty, exposing human nature at its best and worst—and answers pressing questions you surely have like Does bone china really have bones in it? and What did Martha Stewart do when the author suggested on national TV that an antique chamber pot could be used for a popcorn bowl?
