A Saturday Signing: Meet Kristal Leebrick, author of "Dayton's: A Twin Cities Instituiion"

Common Good Books gives you to chance to meet great authors throughout the holiday season. Stop by, say hello, and get a book inscribed to that special someone on your shopping list.

Newsweek
called Dayton’s the “swingingest spot in Minneapolis,” and
almost anyone living in the Twin Cities during the twentieth century
has an anecdote to prove it. At Dayton’s, you could buy a cashmere
sweater for a song during an Anniversary Sale or commission a Persian
silk dress for a society wedding. You could attend an eighth-floor
extravaganza like Santabear’s First Christmas or catch the
occasional circus. Dayton’s was the job that put many Minnesotans
through college or the career that took them to retirement. From its
early days as an innovative dry goods store to a trend-setting
company that grew into the retail giant Target, Kristal Leebrick
chronicles ten decades in the life of a Minnesota enterprise that
defined style, good service and philanthropy.

Please note: This event is a signing only. There will not be a formal reading or presentation.
