I appreciate Martin's and Steve's endorsements of my suggestion, and Steve is quite right in seconding my suggestion that any customer reviews we post on Amazon give praise only where it is due. Also, Arianne is correct in sensing a connection between the authors I listed and the Forum. I used part of the Forum list of book reviews to search Amazon for unreviewed Mark Twain books. And, believe me, there are a lot more than I listed. I regard customer reviews as a far from trivial matter. Sure, giving fellow scholars five-star reviews on Amazon is a nice way to stroke their egos, but that's not what makes such reviews important. Amazon is one of our windows to the world. The reviews written for the Forum itself are wonderful for drawing serious attention to books and keeping us up to date on what's being written, but the Forum is a mighty small pond. Those reviews get read by perhaps 400 people at the most. They're written for the already converted. If we want to keep Mark Twain's name alive and draw more people into our field, we need to extend our reach. Incidentally, if you look around, you may notice that we're aging, and there aren't a lot of young scholars moving into the field. What does it say to people outside the field--especially young people--that so many books on Mark Twain don't seem be worth anyone's attention? If you search Amazon for recent books about Mark Twain, you’ll find that some do get a lot of customer reviews. Most of those books, however, are written by journalists and outsiders to our field. Some more than deserve the praise heaped on them, but the huge imbalance in distribution of reader reviews seems to convey one clear message, viz., that anything resembling a scholarly work about Mark Twain isn’t worth reading. Not only should we use sites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and GoodReads to praise our colleagues' work, we should also use those sites to get other people excited about literature in general and Mark Twain in particular. So, if you can find some moments to post customer reviews, try to write things that make whoever happens to see your comments think, "Hey, this Mark Twain fellow is more interesting than I realized ... maybe I should read more about him." P.S. to Martin: You may be right about my having too much time on my hands. It's an occupational hazard of being retired. I'll try to find more productive uses of my time.
