4.0 out of 5 stars Twain..., May 1, 2009
Mark Twain had a way with words, and I can only hope the price of this edition and the popularity of the e-book format gets people to read him more (both young and old). He's sort of become a caricature because of the popularity of a couple of his books, and many only know of him through the various visual productions of his stories, but he shows his depth of understanding and the broadness of his thoughts in his fun to read, easy to grasp essays.

This is well worth the price, even for the book's title essay, and even if you just keep this on your Kindle for months and read one essay on the occasional Sunday afternoon.

This particular edition does have a TOC, though the Kindle doesn't see it. Go to the cover, and then page down. That's where it lives. There are other editions of this book, I am not sure what the differances are between them.
