In 1993 in a used bookstore near the UC Berkeley Campus I held in my  
hand a tiny little book not much bigger than your thumb which the  
dealer claimed to be one of a very small printing - a work of Mark  
Twain.    i believe the dealer and the book were authentic.  
Unfortunately I forget the name of the work.
