Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Rockwell, Norman (illustratore). Fine condition oversized (slightly under 12 inch Folio size) profusely illustrated with blind stamped front cover decorative designs and bright gold spine lettering. Table of Contents is as follows: An Introduction by Van Wyck Brooks; A Note on the Text; Poor Richard: 1733 to 1747; Poor Richard Improved: 1748 to 1758; Translations of Foreign Aphorisms and Notes. Illustrated with full page color plates and black-and-white drawings. Poor Richard's Almanack (sometimes Almanac) was a yearly almanac published by Benjamin Franklin, who adopted the pseudonym of "Poor Richard" or "Richard Saunders" for this purpose. The publication appeared continually from 1732 to 1758. It sold exceptionally well for a pamphlet published in the Thirteen Colonies; print runs reached 10,000 per year." - from Wikipedia "This edition contains the text of each of the twenty-six issues of Poor Richard's Almanack published by Benjamin Franklin. For the most part, meteorological and astrronomical material has been omitted, as well as a few factual articles to which Pooor Richard contributed neither his with nor his wisdom. The reader's attention is drawn to the Notes in the Appendix for (a) Poor Richard's use of astronomical and zodiacal symbols, (b) the ractions of some of his contemporaries to the early issues of Poor Richard, and (c) the sources of Franklin's borrowings. Also in the Appendix is an alphabetical list, with translations, of the aphorism that he printed in various foreign languages. Notes printed at the foot of the page are Franklin's own. Poor Richard occasionally repeats an aphorism - sometimes a few years later, sometimes only a few months later. In a very few instances (for reasons ty pographical) we have taken the similar liberty of transposing a proverb from its original month to another month of the same ALmanack. The texts in this edition have been scrupulously collated by Dr. Yvonne Noble with the rare originals in the collections of the following institutions, to whos directors the present publishers are happy to acknowledge their gratitude: American Philosophical Society, Franklin Institute, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Library Company of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Library, Rosenbach Foundation, New York PUblic Library, and Yale University Library ." - excerpt from A Note on the Text.

Hays was most famously known as the first President of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which under his guidance published a blacklist of actors and workers studios should not hire, inserted moral clauses into actors' contracts, and published an informal list of suggested guidelines for film producers. When the Catholic Church formed its Legion of Decency and threatened nationwide boycotts of movies, Hays installed a more formal production code, called the Hays Code( later simply "The Code"), which became the virtual law of Hollywood until the 1960s. The Poor Richard Club was privately-founded in Philadelphia in 1906 and comprised mainly of persons in the advertising industry. Seated at the "Gold Table" with Hays were several heads of the major Hollywood studios. A delightful and unique piece of Hollywood history ! Book.
