TEXT/PLAIN (16 lines)
I have recently published The Yale Book of Quotations (Yale University
Press), intended to be a much more comprehensive (particularly for modern
and American quotations) and thoroughly researched quotation dictionary
than Bartlett's or Oxford.  There is a large section of 153 quotations
under Mark Twain, the largest section for anyone other than Shakespeare
and the Bible.  For a number of the quotations, particularly those of
dubious authenticity, I give better evidence than has ever before been
brought forward for their earliest usage.

I would welcome suggestions from Twainists of additional quotations or
additional information about quotations already included, for possible use
in the next edition of The Yale Book of Quotations.
