I live in New Jersey and I was able to obtain this book on Inter-Library loan through my local library. If I remember correctly, it was obtained from Princeton University. I've had great luck obtaining the materials I want via my local library. I have even been getting local Cleveland newspapers from the 1860s and 1870s on microfilm -- I request it at my library and they have been able to obtain it from the collection of the Ohio Historical Society. I found the book, "Irish Americans and Their Communities in Cleveland" to be enormously interesting! There's a lot about what their lives were like and the differences between the "shanty" Irish and the "Lace Curtain" Irish. I'd recommend it to anyone researching Irish ancestry in Cleveland.
