The Pawnshop Chronicles: Street Wisdom for the Business World is a unique business book. Authored by a Jack E Rossin, The Pawnshop Chronicles is filled with quirky stories from his days working in a pawnshop combined with solid, forceful business lessons that apply to almost every industry. It uses anecdotes from a rarely seen business to draw important lessons about customer service, messaging, planning, the real value of competition, and more.

The Pawnshop Chronicles does what very few business books have been able to do. It reduces the basic concepts of business and marketing down to the fundamentals, then illustrates those concepts with highly entertaining stories from - of all places - a pawnshop.

When he was 15, Jack Rossin landed an after school job that was to become the touchstone of his whole career. He was hired at Nate’s Loan Office (not its real name), a pawnshop in Chester, PA. It was the beginning of a unique graduate course in business and marketing. As he says in the forward, "I learned things there they don’t teach at the Harvard Business School. I learned things there they’d be afraid to teach at Harvard."

The job was part-time but the lessons have lasted a lifetime. Through high school; through college and then in a successful career in advertising and as a business consultant, Mr. Rossin has always used the lessons he learned in the pawnshop to help his clients see what their real challenges are.
