Synopsis
Beginning in the 1950s, Edwin Wolf 2nd embarked on a biblio’l. quest to reconstruct the library of Benjamin Franklin, which was the largest & best private library in Amer. at the time of his death & was subsequently dispersed.

After wolf’s death, Kevin Hayes took up the project & brought it to fruition. This catalogue includes almost 4,000 books known to have been owned by Franklin, & the Intro. tells the complete story of Franklin’s library, its dispersal, & its reconstruction.
