Boston, London and Philadelphia, 1706 to 1790. A soap boiler's tenth son is bound apprentice to his brother's press at twelve, breaks the indenture at seventeen, and by forty-two has made enough from a print shop to stop working in it. Benjamin Franklin's money does not come from journalism. It comes from almanacs, blank forms, paper money, sermons, stationery, a counter that sells soap and spectacles, a post office that carries his newspaper and sometimes refuses a competitor's, and six partnerships in other colonies that pay him a third of what they make. The trade he leaves behind assumes what he assumed: that a press is also a shop, and that the shop is what keeps the press free. Covers Benjamin Franklin and Pennsylvania Gazette.
