Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-23 00:00:00 Tom Pat A book that I've seen many times and thought, "eh maybe", this book has exceeded my expectations. It documents Ben Franklin's life as a printer and the necessary attachment of his role as a writer. This book is essential for Franklin nerds, even as it is more a about book and printing history than anything else. This is not the biography you want if you are just want to learn about his life in general, although Stallybrass and Green make some important observations. All in all, a good, accessible scholarly book, with lots of gorgeous pictures and useful images of old books.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-20 00:00:00 Atheesan Arudsothy It is an excellent translation of the De Institutione Arithmetica.
