Finally spotted this book at Borders last night. Flipped through it, very excited to get my own copy, curl up with it, and lose myself in the previously unpublished wit and wisdom of Mr. Clemens. It looks like a fine piece of work.
I promise a full review once I get my hands on my very own copy. In the meantime, if any intrepid reader/publisher sees fit to send me a complementary copy, be my guest!!

I find Twain to be the most important, and most entertaining American author who ever lived. Quite simply, he speaks to me like no other writer does, his frankness, his timelessness, his sense of humor. I find him to be a kindred spirit :-)
HMMM..Interestinn...although iv loved his Tom Sawyer, Charles Dickens' work attracted me more..Especially THE TALE OF TWO CITIES!...did u chk my blog?
This is an excellent book. I've enjoyed all the essays in it. Twain is really the first of the modern prose stylists.
