About This Item
I would describe this book as very good, except for one glaring problem. The front cover has split along the hinge from top to bottom. Nothing is coming loose, at least not yet. Otherwise, the book looks very nice. The deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and intact. Gilt on the top page edges.
Synopsis
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of autobiography ever written.
