Notes
Aside from the editorial value of this small book, it is a lovely addition to a library because of the printing quality. Blue Mountain Arts has chosen almost parchment-like paper stock (but with very little show-through) and a nice quality cover stock with smooth texture. The linecuts are based on the originals used by B.F. in the Poor Richard Almanac. My favorite pages, 70 - 71: "How To Make a Striking Sundial": "...Note moreover, That there will be a great Saving of Powder in Cloudy Days..."
