I think you will find this book valuable and very entertaining.","brand":"Zeus Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058277040368,"sku":"9781922229335","price":27.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781922229335_p0.jpg?v=1763633508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781922229335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
