Many would be like new except for blind stamp on front end paper. Each volume is in a protective plastic sleeve . . . . . Colorful, irreverent, romantic, skeptical, a master of comic asides, a bittersweet humorist, and an unflinching critic of human pretensions, Mark Twain speaks to us across time with verve and wisdom. On the occasion of the centennial of his death, Oxford issued a 29 volume landmark collection, The Oxford Mark Twain. In addition to gathering together most of the writings published by Twain in the U.S., each volume is introduced by one of our most eminent writers.

At the heart of each is a facsimile edition of Twain's original which captures its contemporary flavor. Many include original illustrations which suggest the life and times of the books in a way that other editions cannot. This remarkable offering will be treasured by all lovers of literature. . . .
