The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain - A Book of Quotations:
Great book! Bought as a gift for my drama students as a momento for a play we did on his life. Entertaining to read with a group of people - to talk about and discuss!
Notes from the Rock:
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain is fun to read and see what a master has had to quip about many daily things. It is always fun to see what Twain has to say. Dover makes very afforadble little books so we all can read the classics for less.
Save up!:
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.
MT Fan:
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.
