If I have done nothing else, I hope I have done something to rehabilitate them, at least in the eyes of their successors\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48192429818026,"sku":"9781786771896","price":38.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1475\/4218\/files\/YzhGK2pBdG9PcXNtSHlaMGdNT3JuUT09.webp?v=1775781086","url":"https:\/\/wiccancenter.com\/es\/products\/science-and-parascience-a-history-of-the-paranormal-1914-1939-paperback","provider":"Wiccan Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
