Includes hundreds of Twain's most memorable quips and comments on life, love, history, culture, travel, and diverse other topics, among them "He is now fast rising from affluence to poverty"; "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please"; and "More than one cigar at a time is excessive smoking."
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain - A Book of Quotations October 21, 2008 Great book! Bought as a gift for my drama students as a momento for a play we did on his life. Entertaining to read with a group of people - to talk about and discuss!
Notes from the Rock September 14, 2008 The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain is fun to read and see what a master has had to quip about many daily things. It is always fun to see what Twain has to say. Dover makes very afforadble little books so we all can read the classics for less.
Save up! June 15, 2008 Not only is the book small, somewhere between a pack of smokes and a wallet only thinner, it really doesn't capture the wordsmithing Twain was noted for. Damn shame attempt at revenue generation.
MT Fan September 24, 2007 This book of quotations contains many observations dressed with great wit, humor and smarts that perhaps many can relate, but very few can put into words as only Twain can.
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain January 18, 2007 Great for a coffee table book. It is full of the character of Mark Twain.
