{"product_id":"portobello-voices-blanche-girouard-9780752499369","title":"Portobello Voices","description":"Portobello Market has been going since 1860. It boasts the largest antiques street market in the world, is a source of inspiration for fashion designers, song writers and film directors, receives over a million visitors a year ...and is at risk. In Portobello Voices, Blanche Girouard introduces us to the intoxicating mix of characters that make the market buzz - from the antique dealer to rubbish collector, sausage seller to fur coat vendor, Afghan battery seller to public school entrepreneur. Listening to their stories, learn how to spot a fake, store a fur and make a tin pan; find out what lies behind an obsession with collecting, a passion for buttons and the gusset in boxer shorts and hear how experiences of loss, abandonment and estrangement lead to a life as a market trader.Read the book, rediscover the market and become part of the solution to preserving the wonder that is Portobello.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Blanche Girouard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 075249936X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752499369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Blanche Girouard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057337823487,"sku":"9780752499369","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f692cec4-0aa7-4aa9-bb6a-fbd65dc5be80.jpg?v=1685046402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portobello-voices-blanche-girouard-9780752499369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
