Summary: WORDS FOR THE WISE
Review: Benjamin Franklin's words are just as true today as they were 200 years ago. At only 30 pages, this book is full of lessons that seem to have fallen upon deaf ears in today's business world. You will find this volume well worth your time, and will recognize a number of popular sayings that are included therein. Franklin's wit and eloquently simple writing style is as pleasurable to read as it is informative. I highly recommend it.

Summary: "Meat and potatoes"
Review: It is interesting to read many of the verses so often quoted/misquoted found in this book. This book offers no fancy, get-rich schemes like so many books on the market today. Rather, Franklins advise is concise and to the point. It's easy to see why so many of us, especially Americans, with so many resources at our disposal, are in financial dire straits.Franklin admonishes us against laziness, spending more than we make, trying to keep up with the latest fashions, and stocking our pantries with expensive foods. For the most part, we Americans have had so much for so long we've forgotten many of these simple practices. This is a great book. Worth every penny--if you read and follow its admonition. You can read it in a half-hour easily. In fact, as another reviewer noted; it should be carried with you, and reviewed often. I agree.

Although this bookw as wriiten before the American Revolution, the suggestions are still relevant today. This book is a good little sermon on what to do if you want wealth, dont sleep all day, dont take on debt, etc. I enjoyed it. The cover and binding are very nice too.
