About this product
Product Information
Set against a backdrop of murder, intrigue, and industrial labor conflict in the early twentieth century pearl button industry, Shell Games graphically portrays one of the most important battles in the fight for safe and humane working conditions. Filtered through the thoughts and emotions of Pearl McGill, a woman who stood heroically against the injustices destroying the lives of so many around her in the shops and factories, this conflict vividly comes to life and underscores many of the concerns contemporary workers still encounter.

"Shell Games is a history of American labor through the eyes of the brave and personable heroine Pearl McGill. This is a story of friendship, romance, family, and community conflict, the story of an all-American girl thrust into a high stakes political mystery. Shell Games is history at its most lively and dynamic." - Kate Rousmaniere, Department of Educational Leadership, Miami University, Ohio, "Shell Games is a history of American labor through the eyes of the brave and personable heroine Pearl McGill.

Oh, I have bought from you before in 2020, I saved one of your receipts. At that time I didn't have a EBAY account and didn't know how to use email to well. Yet I was very pleased with my past purchases from you guys. This time around the price was EXTREMELY decent and the complete set was in 82% condition used. Which was how it was advertised and you wrapped it up well for shipping, and arrived in the proper time span with no shipping damage. FIVE B I G STARS 🤩 FOR UUUU'ALLLL!???
