Buffalo is popular today! The new first part of the _Huck Finn_ MS now resides at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, where the rest has been for many years. The Library recently opened a special exhibit room devoted to the book & manuscript. As for scholarship, the most notable is certainly Victor Doyno's work. Vic, who teaches at the University at Buffalo, has already written an excellent book called _Writing Huck Finn_, recently issued in a paperback version. That book, published around 1991, was about the then-extant (last) portion of the MS. His forthcoming book will examine the newly discovered MS portion. (OK-- I must disclose that Vic is both a good friend and my dissertation advisor-- but his work really is interesting!) Random House has purchased the publication rights to the new MS and will issue a new _Huck Finn_ text sometime soon, I believe. Scott Dalrymple
