--------------------------------------

This book provides an interesting glimpse of what might be done down the
road when more of Twain's writings are available online through the Mark
Twain Project's efforts to get the manuscripts online.  Almost all of the texts
used for the translations published in the book are from my site with two
more from Barbara Schmidt's Twainquotes.com site, and only six coming
from various books and anthologies (Following the Equator, The Portable
Mark Twain, etc.)  I think it's the most thoroughly Internet-based book I've
seen, and with its original translations, introduction, postcript, notes,
chronologies, etc., it's an excellent example of how online materials can be
used for original research worldwide.  As the full archive becomes available
for research from anywhere in the world, the possible research projects will
be more or less endless.

That said, I'll add a reminder that year-end donations to support the Mark
Twain Project can be made online through its site at:
