1) Hardcover Book Mark Twain Wit and Wisecracks (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) by Peter Pauper Press. This was the second book I picked up and though it is essentially the same as "The Wit And Wisdom of Mark Twain: A Book Of Quotations" (Dover), it is just as good. Everyone (American) should read Mark Twain, pick a book of quotes and get the flavor of his unuique humor.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Mark Twain Wit and Wisecracks (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) by Peter Pauper Press. It is always a pleasure to read Mark Twain. He is the rare writer who simply sees the world, ( and hears it) in a humorous way. While his pessimism at human nature can at times seem exaggerated his perception of human fault and foible is so precise that it rarely fails to hit the funny bone.
The man who wrote to the paper that published his obituary ´ that the reports of his death are greatly exaggerated, was maybe the sharpest of all the great American writers.
It is possible to prefer a cheaper, more full , less picture- rich edition than this little volume, but this little volume still has enough Twainisms for no small number of chuckles and laughs.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Mark Twain Wit and Wisecracks (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) by Peter Pauper Press. The book is hardcover and has a very nicely done dustcover. But it is far smaller and thinner than a paperback novelette. If I had known that this book was so small and had so few quotations and so little substance, I´d never have bought it. For about ($) dollars less you can get the paperback Dover Thrift Edition of Mark Twain quotations, "The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain: A Book of Quotations." It won´t be as pretty, but it will deliver more substance.¤ 4) Hardcover Book Mark Twain Wit and Wisecracks (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) by Peter Pauper Press. A collection of writings by Americas foremost satirist, complemented by vintage photographs. 64-page hardcover pocket gift book with dust jacket, 3-1/4´´ wide by 5-3/8´´ high.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
