    What is your favorite version of the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin? I’m hoping for a text with larger print that isn’t crammed on the page.

    I have several different versions, but can’t get to them now because of limitations due to surgery.

    I did want to share something I’ve noticed while working at the Friends of the Library book sales. The older the book, the larger the print is likely to be. I had two Alexander Dumas books of the same unabridged title in my hands, but one was about 100 pages longer. I was very curious about why that was, so looked inside. The newer copy was indeed crammed in small, single space type on the page – while the older copy had very nice size type with more white space between the lines. Now I make a point of looking at nice older versions that might cost a bit more. They usually offer better reading experiences. =)

    Check out the look inside feature on Amazon. You might find one that way. If you can’t find one, reading it as an e-book where you control the size of the font might be an alternative.
