Remembering Georges: Stories from Melbourne’s Most Elegant Store by Annette Cooper

When Georges closed its doors on 5 October 1995, it had been trading for 115 years. Yet this famous department store, situated in the ‘Paris End’ of Collins Street, still lingers in the minds of many today.

The unique ‘voice’ of each interviewee shines through, because the memories are in their own words. This richly illustrated book displays many of the fabulous images associated with Georges, and reflects the style and elegance of the store itself.
