The authors' special focus is problem solving: They discuss the many potential risks, challenges, and stumbling blocks of Internet commerce systems and how best to deal with them. This information will enable you to anticipate and solve the problems you are likely to face, helping you implement an Internet commerce system that effectively serves the needs of your organization and its customers.
You will also find comprehensive coverage of: * Consumer retail, business-to-business, and information commerce business models * The critical issue of privacy versus merchandising * Legal issues, such as taxation, copyright, and digital signatures * Essential cryptography and security standards and methods * Functional architecture and implementation strategies, such as the use of outsourcing, custom development, and off-the-shelf products * The technological building blocks of e-commerce, including content transport technologies, CGI, Java, ActiveX, sessions and cookies, CORBA, SET, and COM * Proven strategies for system design * Creating and managing content * Payment systems and transaction processing
In addition, the authors walk you through a full-fledged Internet commerce system design to illustrate all of these strategies, technologies, and functions in action. Moreover, the book demonstrates how to separate content from transactions, and offers an example of a scalable transaction engine.
Designing Systems for Internet Commerce will give you an understanding of how to bridge the gap between your vision of Internet commerce and the reality of attaining that vision with the technologies available today.

An excellent and highly recommended introductory reference.......2003-01-06

Stewart is an informed, thoughtful, and imminently practical examination of what it takes to create an effective and secure system for successful Internet commerce. From learning the basics of Extensible Markup Language (XML), to adapting to mobile and wireless systems, managing shopping carts and other online means of taking orders, to exploiting the Internet to market one's goods at a much lower cost, Designing Systems For Internet Commerce is an excellent and highly recommended introductory reference for any company or corporation seeking to make the most of the twenty-first century's advances in technologically driven commerce and networking.
10% useful content, 90% filler.......2002-04-01
This book feels to me like the authors came from a teaching background, had a few original ideas about how to cover certain broad topics in their own personal way, and then went overboard saying the same things over and over again as if paid by the word.
I had to buy this book because it was required for a class at Regis University Online. I would have preferred to choose my own book. I started reading diligently and eventually came to the conclusion that the book was a waste of time. Even if the blithering was taken out and the useful information condensed, the book still wouldn't be saying very much.
Here's an example from chapter 5, "Conflicting Goals and Requirements." The reader expects to learn how to balance the two. Instead, we get this (this is the chapter summary):
"Whenever different participants in a system have different goals and requirements, there is a potential for conflict. This is particularly true in a new industry like Internet commerce, where there are few established standards. Our advice is to build a list of the participants in your system, and to be very clear about their goals, interests, and agendas. Understanding the participants, their goals, and their interests is very important in framing both the business problem and the technical challenges to be overcome."
...huh? No answers, just laborious advice telling you to be aware of the problem. I would expect this sort of thing from a nerdy friend that thinks he knows what he's talking about and just likes to hear himself talk. Or from a business meeting where people like to make lists but don't have a clue about what to do about the issues at hand.
If you really, truly don't have a clue about Internet commerce, and want to read 350 pages of monotony and still not have a clue, this book may be of interest to you. But if you're intelligent enough to be reading reviews first, you know enough to look elsewhere.
Not Bad!.......2000-06-08
I not really went through all contents inside the book because I read it somewhere at the book store near my town . Well it really can help much for my E-Commece
Not impressive. !.......1999-12-25
The first part of the book is about doing business, the second about technology. Although it covers all the process of doing business online, the book does not focus very good in either part. Very good for beginners, and has some interesting information for most people, but there are other more focused books that discuses each process of the online business in depth.
Architecture is the central theme.......1999-05-22
The book is geared for IT professionals. This still is the only book that views Internet solutions in a decomposable architectural perspective. It contains a good chapter on the value chain, payment systems and transaction processing. The graphics are clear and reusable. It had a little too much overview material on related topics and not enough alternatives to the authors' company solutions. Great book for budding technical architects. More books are needed that address lessons learned from real architects. This fills that gap.

Not what I expected........2007-05-12
This book was a dissapointment for me. I don't have an unlimited budget for store design and most of the businesses featured in this book clearly did. There are a few exceptions to this in the book, but if you're a small business looking for ideas to freshen up your store, I would not recommend this book.
Not relavent for most businesses.......2007-02-25
This book is basically just a picture book of expensive stores most of us can't afford to shop in (the ones with 2 pairs of shoes on one entire wall, and 3 items on fancy hangers on the other wall). Most of the displays are designed so specifically around the products so it's difficult to even use the pictures as inspitration for different types of merchandise.
We got much more inspiration from the book "Store Presentation & Design" by Vsiual Reference Publications.
Customer Reviews:
Great source of information.......2007-03-10
This book is a great source and tool for anyone who is interested in the textile industry, and how globalization affected each country in the world. I am writing my thesis on the textile and apparel industry in Italy and South Korea, and this book has been an helpful source to get information and also to compare it with other titles. This book provides the overall picture of the textile industry without going much in detail. In addition, charts and pictures simplify concepts underlined in the chapters.

Store Design Overview.......2006-07-11
This book is a good basic overview for planning and desiging your retail store.
Review.......2001-04-07
The book is an excellent place to start if you are planning on opening a retail store. I think it's important to be aware and familiar with all aspects of retailing. Just as the back cover of the book says, it is "the perfect learning tool for opening a new store or renovating one". This book takes you through such steps such as negotiating a retail lease, working with designers, store layout options, ceilings, lighting, signs, walls, construction and remodeling, etc... The author also gives you estimates of what you might expect to spend, what you can expect from a design firm, and contract samples. There are also different types of floor plans and designs shown in the book.
Book Description
The only retailing book that exclusively focuses on the fashion segment of the retailing industry, its complete coverage includes the author’s personal experience, in-depth interviews with industry professionals, and a wealth of pertinent photographs, exposing fashion retailing as a “multi-channel” industry.
Beginning with a broad overview of fashion retailing, this book then focuses on on-site environments, management and control functions, merchandising fashion products, communicating with clientele, and finally ends with a useful appendix about careers in fashion.
An excellent handbook for retail executives and managers in the field.
Book Description
This lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced book is intended for those interested in fashion and graphic design of the 60's and 70's from a creative and historical standpoint, plus the huge number of people who remember Biba from the period with much affection.
Customer Reviews:
Very Dissapointed.......2007-08-14
I found out about Biba while looking through a Kevin Aucoin book, he had done the make up of model Kate Moss in the style of a Biba girl. It was a beautiful picture and I just couldn't stop looking at it. The look was both ethreal gypsy and beauty. I had to find out what biba was, so I started doing research on the internet. I bought the Biba Experience exspecting it to capture a time and place. I wanted to see pictures of the people who shopped at Biba, pictures of people wearing Biba clothes I wanted to see the Biba look I wanted pictures from magazines and models and everyday people from that time. Sadly the Biba Experience is lacking in all that. While I found the information on the founder of Biba nice and infomative that same information can be found on the internet. The book had pictures of the store but no people in it, nothing that could really invoke that time and place . There were pictures of a collection of biba clothes worn by current day models that just wasn't very inspiring. I wouldn't recommend getting this book at all.
Experience Biba.......2007-07-16
I first read this book last year and have been devoted to Biba design ever since, this groovy fashion label started in the swinging sixties and went down in a blaze of glory in the sinful seventies. As the back of the book says "Biba fulfilled the rock '&' roll promise to live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse". As someone with an obsessive passion for Art Nouveau & Art Deco, the 1960s & 1970s and classic rock I was taken with Barbara Hulanicki's retro design ethos. Mrs. Hulanicki and her business partner husband Stephen Fitz-Simon began the venture in 1964 London as a mail order business that swiftly grew until 1975 when it spectacularly collapsed. This is the story of one woman's ill fated and unconventional conception of a new way of shopping.
The Biba Experience is a history of her vision from small and intimate boutique in Abingdon Road to a large 1930s department store in the old Derry & Toms Building in Kensington High Street. She renovated and restored this grand department store (called Big Biba) in a sympathetic manner, retaining and expanding its original Art Deco features. Mrs. Hulanicki believed that the retail experience should be memorable for the buying public and appeal to a youthful crowd, as most shops then did not. It piped rock music through Art Deco styled loudspeakers and people could sit in the front windows watching the world go by while having a cigarette and a coffee. In its time it played a major role in making London the hippest city in the world, rock and film stars could be seen shopping there and it had a powerful effect on 60s and 70s British design. As the book explains the employees who worked there and the customers who shopped there remember it with great fondness, even people who never experienced it firsthand (like me) are affected by its legend. Biba sold everything, its own clothes, hats and footwear, to perfume and records. Big Biba also had a food hall that sold every type of gourmet food imaginable, unusual for Britain of that era. There was a hall at the top level of the Derry & Toms building called "the rainbow room" where one could dine while watching a rock band.
The second half of the book is taken up by a photographic catalogue of a private collection of Biba clothes and shoes. Pari owns the largest collection in the world of Biba clothing and memorabilia, in this book she puts them on display for all to see. The clothes are a mixture of contemporary fashions and garments inspired by the golden age of Hollywood and late 19th and early 20th century dress reform. Sure the clothes have for the most part dated for they are very much of their era, but they are still elegant and beautiful nonetheless. It is interesting to note that Biba is back in business again after a hiatus of over thirty years but I do not know if Barbara Hulanicki is involved, they have wisely retained the retro couture look and feel of its infamous predecessor. I don't know if Biba could exist today in a climate where multi-national corporations are creating a banal and insipid mono-culture, it was too non-conformist. If you are a fashion victim or just have a passing interest in fashion history I think you will enjoy this lavish coffee table book.
Extraordinary, an absolute pleasure........2007-02-14
Barbara Hulanicki's Biba was less a clothing brand or department store(though that would have been enough!), than an utter immersion in a lifestyle.
If you've been sadly disappointed by the other books about Biba for having far too few pictures of the stores or the cothing, your wishes have been granted.
The sad demise of such a marvellous line simply makes a well written and thorough record like this more precious.
Buy, enjoy, and wish one could go back in time.
Magic gone like Biba's gone.......2005-12-17
I, too, was there in the late '60s, living and working in London with Biba just across the street beckoning daily. The text in this book is informative and interesting to anyone who has done retail or wants to know about its vagaries, and the photos are superb. But it is one person's collection, and for me, the visual essence and excitement of Biba is missing. Maybe it's the fact that there are no customers with their enthusiasm, or maybe I'm just missing the amazing array of color and design that hit you at each entry into Biba's, which the book does not really capture.
Reliving the magic!.......2005-03-21
As someone who was "there"-- a young New Yorker working for the fashion press in the late '60s, frequent traveler to London (first stop: Biba), habitue of Bergdorf's Biba Boutique for Mahogany lipstick and lucky enough to have a British friend sending catalogues and clothes, I can honestly say reading Alywyn Turner's book on Biba was like living it again. He accurately and lovingly recreates the temper of the times and the uniqueness that was Biba. He also takes you way behind the scenes (where even Barbara Hulanicki did not go in her autobiography) as to the crash and burn in 1975. I did not "get" Big Biba either, and have always felt a little guilty about that. Nice to know I was not alone. Both a beautiful coffee table book of gorgeous photogaphs, ephemera and loving detail shots of the garments. I understand Barbara was grumbling about this book and did not cooperate with the author. I think she missed being part of a great tribute. Oh yes, I never kept any of my Biba clothes or stuff. You can imagine my regret!
