 Really, a book of quotations. February 28, 2008
Don't expect a hardcover filled with a fancy introduction or extensive information. No! Not here, this book is literally a book of quotations. Real short but real funny. Topics covered: Marriage, wealth, health, politics, history-etc. Best part of tome: front cover, Mark Twain-cigar in hand-sitting in chair-on porch; staring into great wide open.
MT Fan September 24, 2007
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.
 A book? See. That's where I have an issue! September 21, 2007

A Book. It says so right on the front cover. I don't have the exact specifications to know what "a book" is. But, I know it is NOT some TINY, LITTLE, insignifcantly sized pamplet labeled Book! You know what? Charge nine dollars for a book. Then make it a real book. This stupid things is insulting. It could be finished in less than a bathroom break. I find it deceptive, insulting and waring that this can happen. So, read the entire description of a work and do not depend upon its claims. This is a pamplet that can't be judged by its deceptive cover.

Great for a coffee table book. It is full of the character of Mark Twain.

The book contains Mark Twain's wit.
It was much smaller than I expected.
