Talk:Franklin Library

message: I appear to have subscribed to a collection in the early 1980s that does not exactly appear here.  It is closest to the 100 Greatest Books of all Time (1974-1982); but has the following differences:
Aristotle - Rhetoric and On Poetics (rather than Politics) - also binding appears unique (so far).  The volumes of Rhetoric and On Poetics I have found on eBay have a different binding than mine.
Plutarch [volume] is entitled "Selected Lives' rather than "Twelve Illustrious Lives"
Racine - Six Tragedies - is closest to a volume I have that is entitled simply "Greek Tragedies" [not in Wiki list] and the volume has no reference in it to Jean Racine
Some of my volumes are in storage still, so there might be other differences.  If anyone has an explanation, I would appreciate it.  I did not think my collection was to have a full 100 volumes.  Maybe this was a smaller version published for some time.

thread_title:  Franklin Library series order of printing 

message: The history of the company/series is missing. What happened to the Franklin Library? How did it begin and why did it end in 2000?

thread_title:  History of the company 

message: This article needs serious trimming and rewriting. Though the company is defunct, this whole thing is one massive advertisement. Wikipedia is not a catalog for Franklin. LadyofShalott 03:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trimming this article 

message: There's 1 reference here only, and that links to a commercial non-reliable source.  Eliminate the puffery and the unsupported material and everything needs to go.  Some of it might go into the Franklin Mint article, but that article has many of the same problems.
I'd also like to make sure that everybody understands the WP:COI guideline, as well as the prohibition of advocacy by  WP:NPOV and the prohibition on advertising by WP:NOT.  There are also possible legal consequences that should be checked out (I'm not a lawyer, and I'm definitely not making a legal threat here), including FTC rules on astroturfing, and European Union fair trade rules.
