Poor Richard's Almanack launches by Franklin in 1733
In December 1733 Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanack priced at fivepence. It rapidly gained fame with three editions sold in that month. Its annual average sales over 25 years reached 10,000 copies, prompting editions in October for year‑start colonies. Translated widely, it included famed proverbs and practical counsel.
