{"product_id":"9780988120426","title":"This was then with Old Ike: Volume 2","description":"My father was a columnist in Port Alberni for several years and created a column called This was Then. It featured reflections on the heritage and history of Port Alberni. It was always his dream to publish a book. Unfortunately he passed away in May 2011 and was unable to fulfill his dream. I edited and reworked a selection of his columns and then published them into a book format. I launched the first volume in August 2012. It was so popular it lead to a second volume which was launched in May 2013. These columns became a community record which helped preserve our heritage and presents it in a way which makes it accessible to the general public. This second volume represents the demands of the public for more info. This volume is about 50% bigger and has more local historic photos from places like Angel Rock and many local businesses including Woodwards.","brand":"Kris Patterson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091605000432,"sku":"9780988120426","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988120426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
