{"product_id":"9781411430051","title":"Poor Richard's Almanack (Barnes \u0026 Noble Library of Essential Reading)","description":"\u003ci\u003ePoor Richard's Almanack\u003c\/i\u003e is one of Benjamin Franklin's most charming creations. He delighted in cloaking his writing behind a variety of literary personas, and Richard Saunders remains one of his most beloved, although some critics have complained that Poor Richard reveals the shallow materialism at the heart of Franklin's homespun philosophy and, by extension, at the heart of America itself. The \u003ci\u003eAlmanack\u003c\/i\u003e holds a central place in understanding Franklin and his evolution from humble tradesman to founding father as well as providing a fascinating window into colonial America. Franklin's sharp wit still retains its ability to surprise and delight readers today.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124332544240,"sku":"9781411430051","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781411430051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
