I love this book and use it often, especially when posting quotes on my Twitter profile. I am able to properly quote Twain, providing context and date of quote, thereby getting more read for each quote.

The more I read this book, the more I realize the value of Twain's experience and his words. Although not schooled, Twain is by far one of the most educated personalities in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.

His extensive travels around the world and around the US allowed him to come up with witty yet profound truths about people, life and nature, along with a plethora of other subjects, ranging from Alligators to Zeus...

A great bed time book and wonderful reference companion.

My friend who is in a nursing home, and who has fond memories of receiving from her mother-in-law a book of Mark Twain's stories, has shared memories with me of reading Mark Twain to her children - hence the gift of the above-mentioned book of Mark Twain's quotes. Delightful all the way around.

This is a very concise collection of quotes, easy to find quotes. I highly recommend it.

Mark Twain humors many with this encyclopedia of definitions and more.
this is a must have for any who want to have a bit of the knowledge of the masterful Mark Twain.
