The success of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnel projects demanded marvels of technological prowess and near-miracles of political cooperation within the bi-state, ever-contentious confines of the Port of New York and New Jersey. Angus Kress Gillespie weaves this multi-layered story into a delightfully readable account; a remarkable feat of narrative engineering highlighting the author''s trademark gifts of clarity, wit, precision, and an amazing gift for rendering highly technical processes into a most pleasurable experience of reading., Most commuters who pass through the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels are oblivious to the endeavors of the sandhogs who built them. Gillespie's book is a well-rounded tribute to the hard-working, blue-collar men who built these engineering marvels., "Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the Holland Tunnell are all part of the Jersey City heritage that we share with the rest of America, so Gillespie's carefully researched book is a welcome addition to my library."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
