Wells, and phrenology. \u003ci\u003eThe Annotated Flatland\u003c\/i\u003e makes fascinating connections between \u003ci\u003eFlatland\u003c\/i\u003e and Abbott's era, resulting in a classic to rival Abbott's own, and a book that will inspire and delight curious readers for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068115009776,"sku":"9780786721832","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786721832_p0.jpg?v=1763666185","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786721832","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
