About This Item
New York: [The Printing Week Library], 1972. Hardcover. Mustard yellow paper-covered boards. Fine, in very good glassine dust jacket. 55 pages. 18.5 x 10 cm. A beautifully produced keepsake produced in connection with the Celebration of Printing Week in New York, 1972, commemorating the 266th birthday of Benjamin Frankin, Printer, January 17, 1972. "This is a small but highly selective collection of Franklin's writings. They are filled with wry observations, dry humor, devastating hoaxing, inventive bamboozling; reverence where Godliness and rich living were concerned; irreverence for England's Majesty; affectionate love and sly wit." Wood Engravings by John De Pol, Engrain Press. Clean, crisp copy.
