Paco Underhill's "delightful and engrossing" (Newsday) look at consumer culture is now available on CD!

Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a Sherlock Holmes for retailers," author and research company CEO Paco Underhill answers with a definitive "yes" in this witty, eye-opening report on our ever-evolving consumer culture. WHY WE BUY is based on hard data gleaned from thousands of hours of field research--in shopping malls, department stores, and supermarkets across America.
