Henleys is a tool-kit, a history lesson, and a proof of human ingenuity.This book is a cornucopia of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44430054457397,"sku":"ByrdShop_0517293072","price":32.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780517293072_54b81ae5-0738-4f6a-8f6b-3216af5011a2.jpg?v=1781224918","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/henleys-formulas-for-home-workshop-9780517293072","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
