{"product_id":"backyard-maine-9780884483175","title":"Backyard Maine","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of these short, savvy essays have appeared in The Forecaster, in Ed''s Universal Notebook column (named for the spiral-bound reporter''s notebooks that he buys two dozen at a time), or in the Maine Times, where he was a staff writer for a number of years. He started reporting when he was a sophomore at Westbrook High, writing for the Westbrook American, and aside from a stint as a librarian at the Portland Public Library after college, he''s been scribbling for a living in Maine for his working life. Opinionated, insightful, humorous, and sometimes controversial, Ed Beem enjoys his role as a local observer, and these essays will resonate with anyone tuned in to day-to-day life in backyard Maine.","brand":"Tilbury House,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528419058007,"sku":"9780884483175","price":11.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780884483175.jpg?v=1731871554","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/backyard-maine-9780884483175","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
