  Ben Franklin is a genius in so many ways. His wit, wisdom, and practical advice is as useful today as it was well over 200 years ago. This almanac is a wonderful book to leave out on a table and read whenever you have a few free minutes.
  
  In Snappy Sayings: wit & wisdom of the world’s greatest minds Franklin is one of the most quoted of the great minds. Franklin along with Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and others give us timeless insight into human nature. I tried to make each quotation richer by including with birth and death date after each name. There is also an appendix with a short biography on each of the over 350 people quoted. That along with larger print and 500 photos and illustration makes Snappy Sayings: wit & wisdom of the world’s greatest minds a fun and rewarding read. If you like Franklin you will like Snappy Sayings: wit & wisdom of the world’s greatest minds.
  
  Ben Franklin’s Almanac will give you many hours of reading pleasure.

  Ben Franklin exemplifies one kind of American spirit. The historian Daniel Boorstin said that the greatness of America was in the small improvements it continually provided to everyday life, the spirit of invention. Ben Franklin built a lot of different kinds of better mousetraps, including bifocals, the postal service, and a whole way of thinking about improving the self day – by- day.
  
  This Almanac is compiled in his spirit and contains many examples of his wisdom. It also is chocked full with practical advice for homemakers,and home- improvers.
  
  Old Ben also had a sense of humor on occasion with his wisdom. “Fish and visitors smell after three days he told us” And when were in trouble we can always think of Ben’s advice “Any port in a storm”
  
  Some of the stuff here may seem corny , trite , boring . But different strokes for different folks as they say , and there is enough here for ‘everyman’ to get a little advice and a little
  
  enjoyment of.
  
  Happy Sunday, Monday ,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday , Saturday.
  
  And Gut Shabbos.
