{"product_id":"9781944853242","title":"One Million Maniacs: Beanie Babies, Killer Cars, and The Power of Collecting","description":"In One Million Maniacs, David LeGault attempts to collect one hundred copies of the 10,000 Maniacs: Unplugged CD -- a quest that frames a broader look at why we collect things and how we try to fix our lives with stuff. Each chapter uses a different collectible item and shows how we often take internal comfort with external possession. The monetary value of Beanie Babies becomes a way to talk about the death of a friend. Baseball-card expos become an entry point into his infant daughter’s hospitalization. LeGault's debut is a candid and often very funny look at how we all look for value amidst life's trash and chaos.","brand":"Outpost19","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047596933360,"sku":"9781944853242","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781944853242_p0.jpg?v=1763795285","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781944853242","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
