The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. In his famous autobiography Benjamin Franklin describes his plan to achieve moral perfection through thirteen virtues, from temperance and frugality to humility. He tells of founding a library, a fire company and other Philadelphia institutions, and of the habits that took him from poverty to prosperity. Practical, humorous and wise, it remains a classic of American self-improvement.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
