The following is an announcement from the publisher of Louis J. Budd's new two-volume set of MT's stories, etc. Members of the MT Circle of America will have already read about this offer in the _Mark Twain Circular_. I haven't yet seen this new edition, though Tom Tenney gives it a good review in _MT Circular_ 6.4 (Oct-Dec 1992), 10. Taylor Roberts Coordinator, MT Forum ------------------------------------------------------------- Special Library of America Offer to Mark Twain Forum subscribers The Library of America, publishers of authoritative, cloth- bound editions of classic American writers, announces the recent publication of _Mark Twain's Collected Tales, Sketches, Speeches, & Essays_ (2 vols.), edited by Louis J. Budd. This landmark collection--the most dependable and by far the fullest ever published--includes over 270 pieces, arranged chronologically, spanning 58 years, from sketches published when he was sixteen in Hannibal, Missouri, to the stories, tall tales, speeches, maxims, and other writings that brought him international renown. Alongside popular favorites and familiar classics are gems to be rediscovered--like the startlingly topical sketches on everything from clothing fashions to presidential elections. These volumes based on the University of California editions include a detailed note on the texts, a chronology of Twain's life, notes, and index. Volume 1: 1852-1890 (1,076 pages); Volume 2: 1891-1910 (1,050 pages) For subscribers to the Mark Twain Forum, the Library of America is offering 20% off the normal price of $35.00 each or $70.00 for the specially boxed two-volume set.
