Someone gave me Sanborn's _Mark Twain: The Bachelor Years_ a couple of months ago, though I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, either. I seem to remember from the preface that she had done some research at the Mark Twain Papers and elsewhere, and turned up some new things. Perhaps not, though, since I haven't heard much else about Sanborn's book. I wonder if anyone else on this list has read it, and can fill us in? BTW, I'd like to welcome the several new subscribers who've joined TWAIN-L in the last few days. For those of you who have been here since March, I should let you know that I recently advertised this list on AMLIT-L (American Literature Discussion), LITERARY, and NEW-LIST--which has resulted in a jump to about 35 subscribers so far. It's not many, but then again, it's not bad, either, for such a specialized list as this one! Regards, Taylor
