That certainly is the best source, with chapter 2 devoted to Twain and numerous mentions of him elsewhere. Not to stray from things Twainian, but I can't help but note that the author argues that modern copyright laws are "punitive" and "too restrictive" and that "leaky" copyright laws would work better. I also note that this book is copyrighted.
