A Near Sub-Microscopic Volume, 27 Nov 2001
By George R Dekle "Bob Dekle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Twain, Wit and Wisecracks (Hardcover)
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.

The great American humorist, 3 Dec 2005
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Twain, Wit and Wisecracks (Hardcover)
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.
