I think the far more popular text used nowadays by most Twain scholars, and containing a number of real gems not available elsewhere, is the edition The Bible Acc. to MT; ed. by Baetzhold & McCullogh (featuring excellent notes and headnotes): http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Bible-According-to-Mark-Twain/Joseph-B-Mccullough/9780684824390 -hb -- Prof. Harold K. Bush Professor of English 3800 Lindell Saint Louis University St. Louis, MO 63108 314-977-3616 (w); 314-771-6795 (h) <www.slu.edu/x23809.xml> Advance Buzz for *The Hemingway Files* by H. K. Bush (coming June 2017!) "A young American professor accepts a prestigious post in Japan, only to wonder whether he’s being manipulated by a wealthy collector of literary treasures. In a gripping story both nuanced and layered, H.K. Bush creates a fable of literary obsession, longing, and the allure of the unknowable." Janie Chang, author of *Dragon Springs Road * "A puzzle-box of a novel set in late twentieth-century Japan that entices and tantalizes the reader with an alluringly beautiful woman, a sagacious teacher, and a literary treasure trove that unlocks the secret to one of the great mysteries in Hemingway biography." Dr. James Hutchisson, author of *Ernest Hemingway: A New Life* "Fascinating. Compelling. Engaging. *The Hemingway Files* is all of the above and so much more. Bush knows his subjects--Whitman, Twain, Melville, Pound, and above all, Ernest Hemingway. His novel teaches us a measure of reality that is so rare in fiction these days, and even in its liberally creative moments, gives us something true to hold onto and to hold steady with in the current of our modern world." Dr. Matthew Nickel, author of *Hemingway’s Dark Night*
