{ "item_title" : "The Desert Home", "item_author" : [" Mayne Reid "], "item_description" : "There is a great desert in the interior of North America. It is almost as large as the famous Sa ra of Africa. It is fifteen hundred miles long, and a thousand wide. Now, if it were of a regular shape-that is to say, a parallelogram-you could at once compute its area, by multiplying the length upon the breadth; and you would obtain one million and a half for the result-one million and a half of square miles. But its outlines are as yet very imperfectly known; and although it is fully fifteen hundred miles long, and in some places a thousand in breadth, its surface-extent is probably not over one million of square miles, or twenty-five times the size of England. Fancy a desert twenty-five times as big as all EnglandDo you not think that it has received a most appropriate name when it is called the Great American Desert?", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/51/517/327/1515173275_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "6.99", "online_price" : "6.99", "our_price" : "6.99", "club_price" : "6.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
