The Poor Richard's Almanack (sometimes Almanac) was a yearly almanac published and printed by Benjamin Franklin under the pseudonym of "Poor Richard" or "Richard Saunders" for this purpose. The publication ran from 1732-1758, and print runs of the pamphlet reached 10,000 per year.
Almanacks would prove very popular in colonial America, as they offered a mixture of seasonal weather forecasts, practical household hints, puzzles, and other amusements. Poor Richard's Almanack was also popular for its extensive use of wordplay, with many witty phrases coined in the work still around in contemporary American speech and language.
