This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. Poor Richard's Almanack is one of Benjamin Franklin's most charming creations.

The Almanack holds a central place in understanding Franklin and his evolution from humble tradesman to founding father as well as providing a fascinating window into colonial America. Franklin's sharp wit still retains its ability to surprise and delight readers today.
