 Save up! June 15, 2008
Not only is the book small, somewhere between a pack of smokes and a wallet only thinner, it really doesn't capture the wordsmithing Twain was noted for. Damn shame attempt at revenue generation.
 Really, a book of quotations. February 28, 2008
Don't expect a hardcover filled with a fancy introduction or extensive information. No! Not here, this book is literally a book of quotations. Real short but real funny. Topics covered: Marriage, wealth, health, politics, history-etc. Best part of tome: front cover, Mark Twain-cigar in hand-sitting in chair-on porch; staring into great wide open.

This book of quotations contains many observations dressed with great wit, humor and smarts that perhaps many can relate, but very few can put into words as only Twain can.

Great for a coffee table book. It is full of the character of Mark Twain.

The book contains Mark Twain's wit.
It was much smaller than I expected.
