Description: Title: Permanent New Yorkers A Biographical Guide To The Cemeteries of New York Author: Judi Culbertson, Tom Randall Publisher: Chelsea Green (1987) Description:Excellent descriptions and guide to the cemeteries of New York City. Many pages devoted to Woodlawn Cemetery and Green-Wood Cemetery. Lots of photographs and great stories about people - both famous and unknown. From the flap- Permanent New Yorkers brings a multitude of prominent New Yorkers back to life. In Manhattan you can visit New Amsterdam’s first no-nonsense governor, Peter Stuyvesant, in St. Mark’s in-the-Bowery; the brilliant and querulous Alexander Hamilton in Trinity Churchyard off Wall Street; John James Audubon in Trinity Cemetery in Harlem; and John Lennon’s garden memorial, Strawberry Fields at Central Park West and 72nd Street. On the curving hilly contours of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery—where once all New Yorkers of substance hoped to be buried and which inspired the creation of Central Park— you can rediscover the likes of Boss Tweed, Lola Montez, Horace Greeley, Louis Tiffany, and Joey Gallo. In the Bronx’s equally impressive Woodlawn, you can encounter robber barons and millionaires as well as politicians, actors, artists, writers, and musicians, including Herman Melville, Fiorello La Guardia, George M. Cohan, and Duke Ellington. Or visit the gravesites of Typhoid Mary and Billie Holiday in St. Raymond's. In Queens you may find Harry Houdini, or pay tribute to Scott Joplin, Louie Armstrong, Edward G. Robinson, Mae West—and many others. Wherever great New Yorkers rest, the authors stop and pause, paying them homage in lively and entertaining prose, remembering their lives with humor, irony, and poignancy. The authors travel to Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, and to Westchester and Rockland counties, where movie stars (such as Judy Garland, Joan Crawford), athletes (Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig), choreographers (George Balanchine), Broadway song-writers (Jerome Kern, Billy Rose), painters (Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollack), composers (Sergei Rachmaninoff, Béla Bartok), and jazz musicians (Tommy Dorsey, Thelonius Monk) abound. The monuments and stories of obscure New Yorkers are often just as fascinating as those of the famous, and the authors make note of many such “unknowns.” New York’s best cemeteries are vastly underrated art galleries—containing works by such masters as Augustus Saint Gaudens and Samuel Chester French-—that are usually located in beautiful and protected settings. 12 maps, 12 black & white photos, over 350 biographies, index.

We may upgrade your package at our discretion to USPS Ground Advantage. Package will be shipped within 4 business days after payment - usually faster. The USPS can be notoriously slow, it could take 2-3 weeks for delivery. Please take that into account when leaving feedback, that we will ship quickly, but the USPS can take a long time to deliver, and we have no control over delivery time. Why Shipping Costs Are What They Are: eBay users may note that postal rates increased AGAIN on July 14, 2024. That's EIGHT price hikes in 4 years. This was the largest single price increase ever: 10% on media mail. USPS shipping is getting expensive, but eBay also charges sellers 15% on the shipping cost (+ the taxes), in addition to the actual package shipping cost. That fact and the USPS business model has made shipping prices rise quite a bit since 2019. In 2019 a one pound package sent via media mail cost $2.75. Today it is 68% more to send the same package. This is all part of the bi-annual price increases starting in 2020 & the misguided USPS 10 Year Plan - “Delivering For America,” implemented in 2021 which twice per year, every year until 2030 will keep increasing rates, while the USPS continues to lose billions of dollars. Combined Shipping if you Buy or Win Multiple Auctions Multiple book/media auction wins will qualify for combined shipping when possible. Do not pay until auctions you are bidding on are complete. Email to let us know that you will be bidding or have won more than one item. A revised combined invoice will then be sent after you tell us you are done bidding. Otherwise, if you pay before all auctions are complete or pay separately - combined shipping is not available. Sales Tax: If your state has sales tax, it is collected by eBay & then paid to your state tax authority. Sellers do not make money from this but are charged a percentage by eBay on the total sale including tax – insane, but true. Returns No returns. We describe all items conservatively. However, If there is a problem, message us through eBay messages to let us know what the issue is before contacting eBay or initiating a return or leaving feedback and we will work it out. We want satisfied customers. Feedback: After you receive your item and are satisfied, please leave positive feedback and after you do we will reciprocate. Questions There’s no such thing as a stupid question. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Photos & Descriptions Photos are of the actual item depicted and are part of the description, please view them all. No stock photos, as many other “bulk sellers” listings are used, which doesn’t show the real item you will be receiving. Descriptions are carefully written and detailed so you know exactly what you are bidding on. We reserve copyright to all our own descriptions & photos.
