Tomorrow is 157 years from the day Mark Twain set sail on the Quaker City for the trip that would form the basis of The Innocents Abroad. For those who may have been wondering about my posts over the last year on this list, I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be releasing a new annotated edition of The Innocents Abroad in the near future. After a lot of research, and writing over 1200 footnotes, the book is almost ready to be published.

There’s still quite a bit of work ahead to see the book in print, but for the most part the text is complete. I’ve posted some articles on the book as I’ve been working on it, which you can find here: https://quintbooks.com/. I’m open to corrections on anything I might have gotten wrong.

I hope to post more on the book as I make progress on getting it printed.

All the best,

Philip Trauring
