Hello all, I agree with Bob that a trip to Florida is a necessity. I have some photos of Hannibal and Florida on my web site (address below) for those who haven't been there. Also, the book that Rick Hill and I proposed so long ago--a critical study of contemporary Twain criticism--came out a few months ago. I've asked that a review copy be sent to Barb so you should be able to read about it soon. If you'd like to place an order, it's at amazon.com. Our title is _Mark Twain Among the Scholars: Reconsidering Contemporary Twain Critcism_. Best, Jim P.S. The book's cover has a handsome photo of Twain provided by Bob.
