Greetings!
 
I'm taking my one free shot at self-promotion today to push my new book, 'The Loveliest Home That Ever Was': The Story of the Mark Twain House in Hartford, published by Dover. It tells the house's story and includes marvelous new photos by John Groo, and a Foreword by Hal Holbrook (who tells me he likes the book).
 
Dover approached us late last year about doing this, and asked us if we had a writer on staff -- somehow  they came up with me, so I spent the first few months of this year putting this together -- a lot more quickly than I've ever had to do such a thing, even in my newspaper days.
 
But it seems to have come out all right. As you can imagine, it's selling well here. The book, a large-format paperback with lavish color illustration, is 20 bucks and available through the usual outlets, including, of course, the Mark Twain Museum Bookshop here: http://shop.marktwainhouse.org/. 
 
Dover's catalogue description is here: http://store.doverpublications.com/0486486346.html
 
My emails to the Forum tend to get broken up with strange equal signs and other impedimenta, no matter what plain-text format I send them in, so I hope this is relatively legible!
 
All best,
Steve
