i picked up the 24 vol. _American Artists Edition: The Complete Works of Mark Twain_ in 1992 at a used bookstore for $60. the editions are actually from multiple years, so i am sure that decreases the value somewhat. you may want to try looking the set up in _Bookman's Price Index_ which they should have in the reference section of your library if it is a university library--not so sure a public library would have it. good luck! kathy farretta On Thu, 27 Feb 1997, Timothy E.
