{"product_id":"9781610351942","title":"California Fruits, Flakes, and Nuts: True Tales of California Crazies, Crackpots and Creeps","description":"\u003cp\u003eA freewheeling catalog of misfits, eccentrics, creeps, criminals, and failed dreamers, this compendium profiles 45 bizarre personalities who exemplify the Golden State's well-deserved reputation for nonconformity. In the pages, Gold Rush pioneers are revealed as murderous madmen; Hollywood celebrities are shown to be drug-addled sex maniacs; early hippies are just 1950s weirdos; and even seemingly ordinary Californians have a talent for freakish, crazy, and criminal behavior. From frontier lunatic Grizzly Adams, whose head was one massive wound after multiple bear attacks, to \"I Love Lucy\" star William Frawley, a racist, misogynist, foul-mouthed drunk, and legendarily awful film director Ed Wood, \"California Fruits, Flakes, and Nuts\" is a side-splitting look at the people who made California the strangest place on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linden Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036531409136,"sku":"9781610351942","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781610351942_p0.jpg?v=1763839153","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781610351942","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
