I use the MT Library edition, too, for university (graduate and undergrad) 
students, and this spring I guest-taught two high school AP classes and 
used it with them, too.  For the reasons Larry says, plus the maps, the 
glossary, the copious annotations, etc.  I require students to lead 
discussions, and especially to prepare for that, if not for every class 
meeting, they are wise to be familiar with the annotations.

Re: which edition of AHF?






I use the Mark Twain Library edition.  Its affordable, reliable, 
includes the original illustrations, and it supports the Mark Twain 
Papers project.
