The new MT Encyclopedia is out and well worth the purchase. Although some errors are naturally to be found. The relative comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the entries make this a necessary addition to a Twainiak's library. By the way, having just returned from Elmira, where I was a guest lecturer, I might add that the planned NEH Seminar with Jim Wilson is probably the single best way to spend a summer that I can think of. The staff in Elmira, especially the director of the Center for Mark Twain Studies at Quarry Farm, Gretcchen Sharlow, are among the most hospitable and professional that I have encountered anywhere. But about the Encyclopedia: it's well worth the purchase. Joe McCullough U. of Nevada, Las Vegas
