Poor Richard's Almanack by Benjamin Franklin

Timeless Wisdom from Benjamin Franklin

Poor Richard's Almanack stands as Benjamin Franklin's enduring masterpiece, first published in 1732 under the pseudonym Richard Saunders and running annually through 1758.

This wasn't mere ephemera; it sold 10,000 copies yearly in the colonies, blending weather forecasts, recipes, puzzles, poems, and proverbs to guide everyday life with frugality and virtue.
