About This Item

New York, Evanston, San Francisco & London: Harper & Row, 1973 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Full white cloth, gilt titles on spine & blind device on front board, olive green endpapers, xiii, 322 pp, 9 ff b & w plates including 1 fold-out, index. DJ worn & tattering about edges & spine ends. According to the DJ, "Fleeing from the great Irish potato famine in the 1840's, they found themselves virtually penniless in the slums of New York and Boston, where they were regarded ans an 'invasion' and a curse, forced to accept the humiliation of notices which said 'No Irish Need Apply,' and to find employment at tasks which even the emerging Blacks considered too degrading to perform. ... Here, in this engrossing and often hilarious book, we read of how the Irish, or at least some Irish, emerged--frequently in less than a generation's time--out of poverty into positions of both social and business prominence." Shipping weight 3 lbs.. 2nd ptg. . VG/G+. 24 X 16½ cm.

Terms of Sale

Twin City Antiquarian Books

Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
