“What we obtain too cheap,
we admire too lightly: ’tis
dearness only that gives
every business its value.”
–Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

Sales history…
In ahead of schedule 1776, Thomas Paine published the best-selling pamphlet Common Sense. It sold more than 500,000 copies (before the Internet), influenced the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and set the stage for The American Revolution.
Learn more about Paine and read Common Sense or get this columnist’s thoughts on the 10 books that changed American History (Common Sense is his #1).
(Did you know… Thomas Jefferson & John Adams — the only two signers of the Declaration of Independence who became president — both died on the same day… July 4th, 1826 — the 50th celebration of Independence Day. Cwazy.)
