{"product_id":"9781503513648","title":"The Unheard Silence","description":"More than three decades ago, research began on a mysterious story. Parts of which were told me by a desert prospector, nicknamed Seldom Seen Slim, with whom I shared many a campfire evening. These parts worked their way into The Unheard Silence, a novel of fact-based fiction. The story, later semi-confirmed by Texas and Mexico research, seemed to overstate itself. At about that time, while rummaging through Pennsylvania’s erudite extravaganza, The Book Barn, I found and purchased an encyclopedic dictionary left behind somewhere by the 1800s. What fun to use a few of those now-derelict words and to include their meanings and other useful information as footnotes. Hence evolved the format exploited in this book. I hope you enjoy these add-ons.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126957916400,"sku":"9781503513648","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503513648_p0.jpg?v=1763709415","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503513648","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
