The contents of Franklin's library were virtually unknown until Wolf identified the unique shelfmarks that Franklin used to organize his books. That discovery allowed Wolf to locate 2,700 titles in 1,000 vols. that Franklin actually owned. Wolf also identified a further 700 titles owned by Franklin. After wolf's death, Kevin Hayes took up the project \u0026amp; brought it to fruition. This catalogue includes almost 4,000 books known to have been owned by Franklin, \u0026amp; the Intro. tells the complete story of Franklin's library, its dispersal, \u0026amp; its reconstruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Wolf 2nd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871692570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871692573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 320","brand":"Edwin Wolf 2nd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48174891630847,"sku":"9780871692573","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c56e5d01-6654-42e7-842a-561b604d191e.jpg?v=1771331204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/library-of-benjamin-franklin-edwin-wolf-2nd-9780871692573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
