Robinson traces the story of the Bay Bridge Troll from its creation in 1989 to its removal in August 2013. The details of the Bay Bridge Troll are curious: the troll was made by someone who didn't initially take credit for it, put on the bridge illegally, and removed without permission. Who has the troll now? Where will it end up?\u003cbr\u003eThe eastern span of old Bay Bridge is history. But the troll remains, a mute witness to one of the world's great bridges. Who, if anyone, really owns the troll?\u003cbr\u003eLike the Maltese Falcon from the old movie (another story of small statuette that takes place in San Francisco), can anyone be said to own the troll except by right of possession?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9.2 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 26, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50337395507437,"sku":"9781634990448","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/j0krNN-u1g9781634990448.webp?v=1785060829","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/the-oakland-san-francisco-bay-bridge-troll-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
