Thomas Donnelley schrieb in der Einleitung zur Autobiographie von Benjamin Franklin, dem ersten Band der Reihe: „Wenn dieser Band auf bescheidene Weise die Idee vermittelt, dass maschinell hergestellte Bücher kein Verbrechen gegen die Kunst sind und dass Bücher schlicht, aber gut sein können, und gut, aber nicht teuer, dann hat er seine Aufgabe erfüllt.“finebooksmagazine.com: - abgerufen am 21.
