ISBN: 9780786428052 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ticket scalping is as much an American staple as apple pie. Beginning as early as the mid?1800s, scalpers, known as ?sidewalk men, ? were charging all the traffic would bear for event tickets.

Shoplifting: A Social History
ISBN: 9780786409082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
