{"product_id":"9781861543295","title":"The Havana Archive","description":"\u003cp\u003eHavana: Once the playground of the rich and famous, where Cuban rum flowed in legendary nightclubs, luxury hotels, and casinos, and celebrities danced the mambo till dawn—as well as a vital hub for drug running and money laundering. This fascinating book, drawn from an archive of press photographs and ephemera thought to have been the property of Capone-era Chicago gangster and bookie Grover Dullard, captures the essence of Havana from the 1920s through the ’50s with a wealth of evocative detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhotographer Basil Hyman discovered this trove of Cuban treasures in Paris, and it led him on a voyage of discovery to Havana’s rich past. His book’s unique visual approach builds a picture of glamour and decadence in a mixture of photographs and memorabilia—postcards, menus, cocktail napkins, matchbooks, and much more; some reproduced as removable facsimiles. This book will transport the reader back to a long-lost world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booth-Clibborn Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058228773104,"sku":"9781861543295","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781861543295_p0.jpg?v=1763600676","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781861543295","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
