Seller's Description
Very Rare Disaster Nurse by Peggy O'More Arcadia House; New York; 1965 8vo size clothbound hardcover with illustrated dust jacket (covered in mylar); 190 pages From jacket: "As a public health nurse, Mina Anne Richards' chief job was to cater to the illnesses of transient migratory workers afflicted by lack of proper water, sanitation, food and housing. The problem was a particularly knotty one because of the attitude of much of the Northwest community, who were glad to employ cheap labor but had no concern for the well-being of the workers; who were eager, in fact, to see them depart once the work was done. Louis Marquam, assistant county health office, did his best, but like Mina Anne, was constantly hampered by lack of understanding and political pressure. And one of the most disapproving of the dedication of Mina Anne and Dr. Marquam was the nurse's fiance, a status-conscious young man of fairly rigid social standards." Jacket covered with mylar but does not appear to be ex-library, has no library markings. Jordan Marsh price sticker on inside front fold of mylar has caused a light transfer stain on fep; crease to front jacket flap; pages 121-126 are creased and there is a quarter of an inch tear in the margin of page 121. Before the advent of the genre "Chick Lit" there was a very popular genre of books about nurses written for female readers. The young adult serial novels featuring Cherry Ames were very popular and this book is an example of a romance novel featuring a young nurse. Arcadia House, the publisher of this volume, published many nurse novels, some of which you can read about on the back of the dust jacket.

We’re happy to include our gift card (at no cost) or your note or message (also at no cost.) We will not send anonymous gifts. PAYMENT: Payment must be made in US funds and by PayPal. CONTACTING YOU AFTER YOUR PURCHASE: Occasionally, we have questions after your purchase. Sometimes we need to confirm a shipping address. If we have questions, we will contact you through eBid’s messaging system. Please check your eBid Messages and your email or shipment of your item may be delayed. It is possible that your purchase may be cancelled if we don’t hear back from you. BUYERS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES - PLEASE NOTE: Receipt of your item may be delayed if it has to go through custom inspection in your country. Occasionally, this adds days or weeks to delivery. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. During peak shipping times, it may take weeks to have your item clear customs. We’ve had some items arrive in Europe in a week, but a package to South America once took six weeks to arrive! Again, you’ll have to check with the customs office in your country if your item hasn’t been received. Restrictions in your country may not allow us to ship certain items. Many countries do not allow shipments of coins or precious metals, for example. Some media, including computer software, music CDs or DVDs may be restricted for sale outside the United States. VHS and DVDs are formatted differently for different countries. If you are purchasing a VHS videotape, please note the format your machine requires before you make your purchase. Most of our tapes are NTSC format (it is specified in the listing what the format is) which will not work in most video players in Europe and Australia. We routinely contact anyone overseas who purchases a VHS video to ask them to check if their machine can play an NTSC tape before we ship. Many DVDs also have a specific format by country. If you are purchasing a DVD, please make sure the DVD is a format that will play in your machine. NO RETURN, NO CANCELLATION POLICY: We no longer accept returns or cancellations due a history of fraudulent claims.

If you see our photographs or text elsewhere on eBid or online, please let us know. We’ve found our “stolen” photographs and text on other e-commerce websites many times. In order to help reduce fraud and image theft, you’ll notice that most of our photographs have our logo or other label appearing on each image which obscures a small part of the item. It is possible that anyone who uses stolen images or text may not even have the item they are trying to sell and that their intention is to defraud you. We don’t want anyone to use our images or text to try and sell you something they don’t have. Please be savvy and safe while shopping online. Your local public library should be able to help you find great resources to protect yourself and your family while shopping online. Thank you for reading this. You are the kind of educated consumer with whom we want to do business and whom we aim very hard to please. We appreciate your looking at our listing!
