Description: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN by Carl Van Doren Published by The Viking Press in 1938 - First Edition thus - Signed by Author This is one of the most complete biographies of Benjamin Franklin, from his youth to his beginnings as a journalist, his life as a political figure, agent in London and Minister to France, and Postmaster General, and his retirement at eighty-two. He was unsurpassed in his range of natural gifts or his energy in using them to advance his country's interests.

The dust jacket is unclipped with minor chipping and is in very good condition. See photographs. This is a great Pulitzer Prize winning biography, and it would be an excellant addition to anyone's book collection. The book is about 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" x 2", 845 pages, and about 3-4 lbs.+/- with packaging.
