PULITZER PRIZE WINNER JOSEPH J. ELLIS ON TIM OGLINE’S BEN FRANKLIN FOR BEGINNERS: “As the song says, most American youngsters ‘don’t know much about history.’ Indeed there is an epidemic of historical illiteracy out there in our public schools fully as troubling as the more publicized deficiencies in math and science. Tim Ogline's beguiling book on Ben Franklin represents a kind of verbal vaccine that will address this national illness, giving us a Franklin that kids will find accessible and, as they would say, ‘awesome,’ while mature scholars will attest is the genuine article.”
— Joseph J. Ellis, Author of Founding Brothers
“... that Tim Ogline is a great guy.”
— Governor Ed Rendell, 17 December 2010 (in conversation with photographer Jim Graham at the Philadelphia Macy’s jewelry counter)
“Tim is one of the most versatile, focused and inventive artists I’ve ever worked with. One minute he’s turning in delightfully creepy pen & ink drawings for my supernatural folklore books and the next he’s designing the website for The Wild River Review (www.wildriverreview.com), an amazing online literary magazine. Tim is always fresh and always surprising. Highly recommended!”
— Jonathan Maberry, New York Times Bestselling Author
“Tim is passionate about his work and will do everything it takes (including foregoing sleep) to get the job done right.”
— Dan Nguyen, President and Owner, Stoner Bunting Advertising
