FOUND IT! The ribbon was red, the book brown. Right in front of me all the time!

Publisher: Macmillan's Pocket Classics, 1901.
Has a great introduction that gives history of the book and a few extra tidbits re: Franklin.

My favorite "old" book is THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC. It was published 1912? right after the catastrophe. Lots of stories and pictures. Some of the stories in the movie were very similar.

Here's hoping that the President has a SAFE and successful trip to Africa -- at least he'll be out of DC (and FAR away from the RATs) for a week. Unfortunately, the press will be with him!

Night all!

Neat! Do you collect old books?
