Review this book!
On Oct 20, 2021, Anonymous said
This book is an amazing collection of insightful sayings by Ben. Many if not all were published in Poor Richard's Almanac. This book gives the reader a window into Ben's extensive wisdom and also gives insight into the times in which he lived and what their thoughts were on a variety of things. Great book to help make this Founding Father more real.
