{"product_id":"9781467581141","title":"Real, Honest Sailing with a Great Lakes Captain","description":"Now in its eight printing, the award-winning “Real, Honest Sailing” is a form of autobiography. Captain Gary W. Schmidt sailed for more than 40 years all over the Great Lakes, most of them as a captain. He was esteemed by his crews – thus the title from a crewman’s take on Captain Schmidt. The book is written by Warren Gerds in the voice of Captain Schmidt based on 30 recorded interviews and conversations. Some of the chapters are stand-alone stories. Altogether, the chapters tell what it takes to helm a freighter that is more than two football fields long and in one trip carries the equivalent of 4 billion pennies. Stories mix with factual details, with scores of photos and drawings to help fill out Captain Schmidt’s special saga.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerds Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027566346480,"sku":"9781467581141","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467581141_p0.jpg?v=1763693991","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467581141","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
