OUTER EDGES ARE A LITTLE DIRTY.
Please remember these are used books. I try to find books that are in good shape, but sometimes that is just not possible. If I see something wrong with the book, I will describe the condition on the listing page.
Please contact me before bidding if you think I have a rare book or first edition book. Sometimes the ISBN# for a book differs from the eBay listing. I certainly don't want you to purchase something from me, only to find out it was listed incorrectly.
I only accept PayPal. I'm sorry, but I don't accept checks or money orders. Also, if you are purchasing more than one item, and the auctions are ending on different days, please wait until you're finished shopping and then you can make one payment for all your books.
All orders are shipped media mail. I ship the following business day after receiving a cleared payment. If the post office takes longer than 2 - 9 business days, I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is a matter beyond my control. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico can take 3 - 6 weeks. You will receive a tracking number from PayPal, so you can check on the status of your shipment at any time.
I charge $3.25 for shipping and $1.00 for each additional eligible book. I do not offer refunds. Insurance is available if you would like for $1.65. If you choose the insurance coverage and your package gets lost or damaged you will be reimbursed for the price you purchased the book for.
Thank you for visiting Turnthepage45. I hope you found what you were looking for. I am trying to sell things that will interest a wide variety of people, so please send me a message if you're looking for a certain book or author, and I would be happy to try and find it for you.
Please feel free to contact me through eBay messaging, and I will try and get back to you asap. If you have a problem or you're not satisfied for some reason, I would certainly like to hear from you. I can't help you or find a solution to the problem if you just leave negative feedback.
Thank you again for your business and please come back soon!

| Synopsis | After years of teaching creative writing, Frank McCourt published his first book, thus obliging his many friends who had been urging him to write about his childhood--a subject they knew from the many uproarious and affecting stories he told about it. ANGELA'S ASHES traces the tortuous path of his life from his days in abysmal poverty in Limerick, Ireland, to his arrival in New York as a teenager, eager to start a new life.
| | Size | | Length: | 363 pages | | Height: | 8.5 in. | | Width: | 5.0 in. | | Thickness: | 0.2 in. | | Weight: | 15.2 oz. |
| | Publisher's Note | The author recounts his childhood in Depression-era Brooklyn as the child of Irish immigrants who decide to return to worse poverty in Ireland when his infant sister dies.
| | Industry reviews | "For the most part, his style is that of an Irish-American raconteur, honorably voluble and engaging. He is aware of his charm but doesn't disgracefully linger upon it. Induced by potent circumstances, he has told his story, and memorable it is."
New York Times Book Review - Denis Donoghue (09/15/1996)
"Frank McCourt...waited more than four decades to tell the story of his childhood, and it's been well worth the wait. With 'Angela's Ashes' he has used the storytelling gifts he inherited from his father to write a book that redeems the pain of his early years with wit and compassion and grace. He has written a book that stands...as a classic modern memoir."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (09/17/1996)
"...[W]hat is most remarkable is that he has managed to reenter his boyhood self so completely, while maintaining a quiet, sardonic, authorial distance from his early life, which gives 'Angela's Ashes' its rigor and power. Whatever scars McCourt bears from his childhood, they are not exorcised here. Only someone who has successfully battled with his demons could have crafted such a compelling work of art out of his own pain."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Mary M. Morrissey (09/29/1996)
"An extraordinary work in every way. McCourt magically retrieves love, dignity, and humor from a childhood of hunger, loss, and pain."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/1996)
"Unguarded and stunningly unpretentious, ANGELA'S ASHES creeps up on you with all the ghostlike force of a winter afternoon in Ireland....A story so immediate--so gripping in its daily despairs, stolen smokes, and blessed humor--that you want to thank God young Frankie McCourt survived it in part so he could write the book."
Boston Globe - Gail Caldwell
"The most gloriously unwholesome memoir of the year has to be ANGELA'S ASHES. The tale of an Irish childhood blighted by poverty, drink, violence, panic and despair and blessed by an author with a huge sense of the ridiculous plus the ability to forgive everyone, even himself. Give 'Angela' to anyone who loves a roaring story in language so fresh it sometimes comes as a shock to the system."
Washington Post Book World - Rebecca Pepper Sinkler (11/24/1996)
