Price: US$1875.00 + shipping
Description: First edition of this collection of Twain's short stories, although all had seen previous publications; 8vo, pp. [8], 3-82, [2]; frontispiece and 6 plates; publisher's original pictorial red cloth a little dull; preserving the original printed dust jacket which is slightly worn at the edges. The jacket is in the first state with titles on the back panel preceding 1905. The nature of the binding may suggest that the jacket is supplied but I don't think this is the case. "This volume contains several of Mark Twain's funniest sketches, all narrating various journalistic experiences of his youth" (jacket blurb). BAL 3665.
