Paperback. Condition: As New. Presumed First Edition. Unread and unopened! (Hard to list as 'New' when it's 31 years old). There is a side to Benjamin Franklin we were not exposed to in school for better or worse, depending on your degree of prudery. There was a scurrilous dimension to Franklin's character that was eager to ignite the flames of controversy and keep them burning.
