''Well done is better than well said.'' ''What you would seem to be; be really.'' ''A true Friend is the best Possession.'' The wise sayings within this little volume were selected from a number of editions of Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack. Of course; not all the sayings here are original with old Ben; for he included in his Almanack proverbs from other sources -- but he usually gave them a flavor all his own.64-page hardcover pocket gift book with dust jacket.Woodcut illustrations are adapted from the crude cuts of Joseph Crawhall.Measures 3-14'' wide x 5-3/8'' high. Makes a nice little gift.
