Reviews

"A marvel, both of diligent research and of Franklin's fertile and opportunistic imagination."--Books & Culture
--

"A well-researched and engaging study of Franklin's contributions to early American journalism and should appeal to a broad audience. It is a valuable addition to the literature on Franklin and to journalism in the colonial era."--The South Carolina Historical Magazine

"Frasca's welcome book shows just how Franklin made himself into a printing empire, and stresses (just as Franklin would have wanted) how it was done as part of his effort at improving humanity."--The Times of Acadiana

"Ralph Frasca's book surprises and delights. Frasca takes us into a part of Franklin's world that has been often studied, his world of print, but not with an eye to the ways in which Franklin operated within a complex network of printers to pursue his quest for personal success and the dissemination of virtue."--Journal of the Early Republic
