Books with title Poor Richard's Almanack

Benjamin Franklin borrowed liberally from those around him in penning this most illustrious of American almanacks. Franklin borrowed from contemporary almanacker Titan Leeds (whom Poor Richard's hoaxed by predicting his death) for format; he chose the title Poor Richard's after the English almanack Poor Robin's, and he used the name of Richard Saunders, the English editor of Apollo Anglicanus, as his pen name. Franklin's witty maxims and irrepressible humor, however, are all his own - presenting such unforgettable adages as Make haste slowly' and God helps them that helps themselves.'

This is a 2003 edition of ""Poor Richard's Almanack."" Richard Saunders reappears, after 270 years, to again edit this important classic. Including such ever important predictions as weather, horoscope, and geopolitical events, this new edition of America's treasured annual will find a nostalgic place in barns and outhouses and maybe a one-room schoolhouse or two. We predict it will outsell other almanacks just as it did in the 18th century and become America's #1 selling almanack.
