The Original T (Atlanta, GA)
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.

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.
It's still funny, a hundred years later. November 11, 2006
Dale Johnston (Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan United States)
A nice, slim volume that you may read a few lines from, put it down, and come back later and read a few more. Mostly fun, all are thoughful; Huck Finn is a good philospher for all time.
