ANDREW CARNEGIE

BT-2348.jpg (33623 bytes)

Andrew Carnegie: Giant of Industry, by Mary Malone. Garrard Publishing, HC library binding with illustrated front board. 96 pages, chapter book reading level. Traces the life of Andrew Carnegie from his boyhood in Scotland to his becoming one of the richest men in the world. And then young readers will watch him start giving his surplus money away to people who had helped him, people who had special needs he wanted to meet, and as pension money for his former mill workers. His goal was to wipe out ignorance and evils. One of his major accomplishments in this area was to fund the building over over 2,000 libraries. Before his death he set up the Carnegie Corporation to continue to manage his money and give it to worthy charities after his death.  Good + condition. Very light edge wear with lightly bumped corners. A few very light pencil marks and a small faded red ink mark appear on back cover. Top end   of spine is a bit bumped. Has usual library markings on spine and in book, pocket and date slip.   BT#2348.$24.50-U

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
