Thank you for this info Barb! The photos in the Applewood 2015 reprint are indeed great (there were some I don't believe I had seen before) but I suspect they do not appear as nicely in this paperback as they probably did in the first edition. Which reminds me of the coffee table book that I hope someone will publish one day: "The Complete Photos of MT" :) Thank you and take care, Taylor On Wed, Jan 9, 2019 at 2:25 PM Barbara Schmidt <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I agree with Taylor that Leary’s memoir as told to Mary Lawton is an > extremely valuable contribution to Twain studies.
