{"product_id":"a-winter-apprentice-9781882190454","title":"A Winter Apprentice","description":"John Willey shares insights into life in a Maine boatyard, where he worked and kept a journal from 1978 to '79. As the historian John Gardner confirms, until relatively recently boatbuilding was not recorded - the life of the yard crew even less so. Here is a rare and vibrant narrative from a winter apprentice. ***** \"It's great, it really is great. I can see it, and see it all - smell it, taste it, and feel it ... The shop and crew and Paul came through life size. I was there with you, every blessed, excruciating, wonderful minute ... Last night after supper, I sat down with it and didn't get up until I had finished, about 2 a.m.\" -John Gardner, historian, designer and builder of wooden boats, author of books including Building Classic Small Craft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polar Bear \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781882190454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d","brand":"John Holt Willey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36669920608412,"sku":"9781882190454","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b43f60a9-13cc-4fe3-8530-1cfd6495f789.jpg?v=1603921385","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-winter-apprentice-9781882190454","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
