This anecdote about Franklin and books made me think of Franklin's epitaph,
which he wrote when he was 22 years old:

The body of B Franklin, printer (like the cover of an old book, its
contents torn out and stript of its lettering & gilding), lies here, food
for worms. But the work shall not be lost; for it will (as he believ'd)
appear once more, in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected
by the author.

Ho!

Guy
