Unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear to the red card stock wraps, with paper title label, beyond a bit of waffling, probably from the label's glue. Biographical sketch by Albert Bigelow Paine, and then tributes by famous authors, from Joseph Conrad to Booth Tarkington, and then a bibliography of Twain's work. 63 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
