As of May, the University of California Press announced it is out of stock of my MARK TWAIN'S LANGUAGES: DISCOURSE, DIALOGUE, AND LINGUISTIC VARIETY (1987), and will not be reprinting it. They've reverted publication rights to me, and I'm thinking about keeping in "in print" by producing an edition in PDF format that could be sold at very low cost (on the order of $5-$10). Because this would take a lot of preliminary work with scanning/OCR (the computer files are long gone), I'd appreciate direct feedback from anybody who might be interested in an eventual PDF copy. Meanwhile, the last five print copies are up for auction via amazon.com: http://auctions.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/auction-glance/Y03X3357993X3382346 In case anyone is wondering, I've been away from Mark Twain studies for quite a few years (and from English departments for that matter), but I hope that MTL still stands up reasonably well--apart from the excresences of a young writer try to show off what he thought he knew about semiotics, it's a book I'm still pleased to have written.
