Experience timeless classics like never before in this Grand Type Collector's Edition

With clear, easy-to-read formatting, this edition is designed for readers who prefer or require larger text without sacrificing the excitement of the original.

Large Print Features:

18-point font: Generously sized text for maximum readability and comfort. Sans-serif font: Clean, modern typeface designed to reduce visual strain. Italics are bolded: Important emphasis is maintained without thin, hard-to-see lettering. Easy-to-read line lengths: Shorter rows of text (under 45 characters per line) make reading smoother and less tiring.

Challenging monarchy and advocating for self-governance, Thomas Paine's fiery pamphlet Common Sense ignites the reader's sense of justice and reason. With plain but powerful language, Paine dismantles the logic of hereditary rule, exposing its flaws and its heavy burden on society. He calls for unity, independence, and the creation of a fair government built by the people. Every page resonates with urgency, urging bold action to break free from tyranny and shape a new and independent future.

First published in 1776, Common Sense became a cornerstone of American history, transforming colonial resistance into a revolutionary movement. By speaking directly to ordinary citizens in accessible, impassioned prose, Paine united the colonies behind the radical idea of independence from Britain. Its arguments reshaped public opinion and helped pave the way for the Declaration of Independence. Revered as a masterstroke of persuasive writing, it remains a timeless symbol of how words can ignite change and inspire nations.
