\nPat Norton, chairman emeritus of La-Z-Boy, wrote in the foreword for the volumes: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcFurniture Retailing 101\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 could be a textbook dealing with the practical side of the retail side of our industry because it is a very basic, no-nonsense book distinguished by its completeness and its real-life experience content. Many of the words, phrases and processes, which are unique to the furniture industry, provide a great foundation for the reader learning the details of our business.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
