{"product_id":"9780679600213-secondhand-out-of-africa","title":"Out of Africa","description":"Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time In this book, the author of  Seven Gothic Tales  gives a true account of her life on   her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country   and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of   her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited   her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos,   elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with   her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.    The Random House colophon made its debut   in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called \"Announcement Number One.\"   Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern   Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend   the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, \"Rockwell   was sitting at my desk facing Donald, and we were talking about doing a few books   on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration and said, 'I've got the name for   our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side   at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea, and Rockwell Kent   said, 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So, sitting at my desk, he   took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon   ever since.\" Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent:   to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this   tradition today.    This edition is set from the first American  edition of 1937 and   commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755514966235,"sku":"9780679600213-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/02a12db1-5d99-4f0f-ac8a-9a620af79926.jpg?v=1778221458","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780679600213-secondhand-out-of-africa","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
