Poor Richard Jr's Almanack
1907
This book includes a
pithy witticism for each day of the year. There is no entry for
February 29th.
The sayings in this book came from Poor Richard Jr's Philosophy
Department previously published in the Saturday Evening Post. They were
written by Reginald Wright Kauffman.
Here is an example page:
This book was
published in both board covers (50 cents) and ooze calf ($1.00). The
board cover volumes have been seen with two covers that have the same
illustration but slightly different coloring. The ooze calf book
originally came within a labeled box.
I believe that the board book that has the yellow shutters is the
earlier
one but I have no absolute proof. Both board books have identical text
in 126 pages and are 5.25 x 4.
