A note of interest to Twainers:

The December issue of The Magazine ANTIQUES includes a ten-page selection
entitled "Samuel Clemens's Family at Christmas."  Written by Marianne J.
Curling, Curator of the Mark Twain Memorial, the article includes about a
dozen very high quality color photographs of the interior and exterior of
the
Hartford house.  The magazine's frontispiece features a full page view of
the
top of SLC's desk in the Billiard Room.  The text and color plates are
artfully presented and a delight to read and enjoy.
