The Mark Twain Forum needs a reviewer for the following book:

_The Adventures of Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass_. By Mark Twain. Edited by
Charles Honce. Forward by Vincent Starrett. A Note on "A Celebrated Village
Idiot" by James O'Donnell Bennett. Limited edition of 500 copies. Privately
printed by Keokuk Public Library, 2007. Hardcover, xxiv + 59 pages. $49.95.

An edition of this book was first published in 1928 and preserved three
newly-discovered letters Samuel Clemens wrote for the _Keokuk Daily Post_
in 1856. These letters are some of Clemens's earliest attempts at dialect
writing. This 2007 reprint is an attractively designed collector's item.

The publisher's web page for this book is:

If you are interested in receiving this book for review, please contact me
via email.

Thanks,
