Taylor Roberts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerry's Books Mark Twain Published Electronically Now available!!! The writings of Mark Twain on disk Quick easy referencing at the touch of a key! These electronic files are reproductions of the Author's National Edition of the writings of Mark Twain. In addition to the complete text of the books, each disk contains scanned illustrations from the original text and a specially created topical/subject index not in the original text. Combined with the search capabilities of a word processor, this electronic text allows immediate access to any phrase, passage, or subject in the complete book! Researchers no longer need hunt for that forgotten passage manually! In addition, complete text can be extracted for inclusion in research papers immediately. Besides the obvious research benefits, electronic text can be converted to plain ASCII files and sent to a speech synthesizer. Thus, the disk can become a "talking book" for the visually impaired. Another benefit of electronic text is found in those word processors that allow comments to be placed in the text. Scholars can insert into the text non-printing comments to aid in lectures and research. About Jerry's Books Jerry O'Brien has been a fan and student of Mark Twain for many years. He has performed one-man shows of "An Evening with Mark Twain" in Iowa. During his research for these shows, he felt that some very good quotes of Mark Twain were missing from reference material available at the time. Therefore, as a long term project Mr. O'Brien began entering Mark Twain texts into a personal computer. By doing this, passages and phrases of Mark Twain material could be located and extracted easily. Because of his love for Mark Twain and his desire to share Mark Twain's material with others, Mr. O'Brien asked for permission from the Mark Twain Foundation to electronically publish selected works of Mark Twain. And, that is how Jerry's Books came to be. Ordering information _Roughing It_ (volume 1) and _Huckleberry Finn_ are available now at $6.95 each.
