About the author
Frank B. Scholl, sometimes listed as B. Frank Scholl, was an American author active in the early 1900s. Library and catalog records identify him with the birth year 1860, and his work is still discoverable through major public-domain and library collections.
He is best known today for The Automobile Owner's Guide, first published in 1920 and preserved by Project Gutenberg and Open Library. The book reflects the hands-on spirit of early car culture, explaining operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for readers who needed practical advice rather than engineering theory.
Scholl is also associated with Library of Health; Complete Guide to Prevention and Cure of Disease, a broad household medical reference listed by the Library of Congress. Taken together, these books show an author interested in clear instruction, whether the subject was the new technology of the automobile or everyday health information for the home.
