'It is truly pioneering and is an excellent exposition of the commercial property market over the last 150 years...the book is to be greatly welcomed and Scott congratulated. It is a clear, accessible and thoughtful exposition of the rise of the commerical property sector.' - Business History"...we are fortunate to have another throughly researched study, and one which takes a longer historical view...A great strength of the book is that he has gained access to a wealth of archival sources, mostly still in private hands.."
