Everything but the Coffee by Bryant Simon
Focuses on the Starbucks, one of the world's most famous coffee companies, looking beyond baristas, movie cameos, and Paul McCartney CDs to understand what Starbucks can tell us about America. This title shows that Starbucks speaks to a deeply felt American need for predictability and class standing, community and authenticity.
"Those who frequent Starbucks will enjoy Simon's range of topics, from business matters to the music played to the (very American) concept of 'self-gifting'"--Publishers Weekly "Simon's book is a fascinating, sometimes dispiriting look at how Starbucks is emblematic of some deeper socioeconomic phenomena at work in this country over the past decade and a half."--Boston Phoenix "A thoughtful, in-depth study."--World Wide Work
