{"product_id":"2940046193145","title":"31 Laman Street","description":"\u003cp\u003eI am about to inform you of a side of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, that many of its inhabitants were completely unaware of. A side I once knew of ever so well and perchance this may be the right time to inform booklovers of these, such-strange-goings-on.\u003cbr\u003eAnd who knows; by this book’s completion, you (like Miss Jane Jenkins) may have transformed yourself into a completely changed person? And perhaps, — with a fresh new insight into … practically, — well almost everything considered thought provoking!\u003cbr\u003eNow dear reader, now its time to wind back the Newcastle Town Hall clock to strike again on a different stage; back to the year of 1971, a vibrant time of conscription and moratoriums, strikes and stand-offs, prayers and promiscuity. So, prepare yourself for a pleasant walk along a leafy Laman Street before earthquakes, rising property values, and fig-tree-removing council members shake its uniqueness into something … now completely different.\u003cbr\u003eAnd while partaking this interesting journey, please participate with another side of this town, yes, — take a taste of the paranormal where precarious forces lie and wait to trap the naïve and innocent.\u003cbr\u003eWhere, what! Do you ask? — Well, you best get yourself ready to meet Professor Howard Mycroft Calvert, because — words . . . can’t properly explain ‘what’ he actually is.\u003cbr\u003eAnd by the way, a map is provided, and better still, have a good look on the available Internet-maps and see old Laman Street before it’s majestic old fig-trees are hacked away and replaced with this current (scaled-up) model railway alternative.\u003cbr\u003eNow, …there’s a book chock-full of interesting people all just waiting to meet you … so take your time, don’t skip pages and I promise, this story will certainly draw you in.\u003cbr\u003eAnd remember folks; this is all ‘just-fiction,’ right! And reading great-fiction is good for your soul, it’s a proven scientific fact, . . . so, I can guarantee, — a really-good-read is now coming up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carl Delprat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47110703808752,"sku":"2940046193145","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046193145_p0.jpg?v=1763690052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046193145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
