{"product_id":"9781605433066","title":"Gadsby","description":"The entire manuscript of this story was written with the E type-bar of the typewriter tied down; thus making it impossible for that letter to be printed. This was done so that none of that vowel might slip in, accidentally; and many did try to do so!\u003cbr\u003eThere is a great deal of information as to what Youth can do, if given a chance; and, though it starts out in somewhat of an impersonal vein, there is plenty of thrill, rollicking comedy, love, courtship, marriage, patriotism, sudden tragedy, a determined stand against liquor, and some amusing political aspirations in a small growing town.\u003cbr\u003eIn writing such a story,-purposely avoiding all words containing the vowel E, there are a great many difficulties. The greatest of these is met in the past tense of verbs, almost all of which end with \"-ed.\" Therefore substitutes must be found; and they are very few. This will cause, at times, a somewhat monotonous use of such words as \"said;\" for neither \"replied,\" \"answered\" nor \"asked\" can be used.","brand":"Ramble House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036161622256,"sku":"9781605433066","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781605433066_p0.jpg?v=1763829971","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605433066","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
