Quotes are complemented by fascinating black-and-white images throughout, such as photographs of Twain before his home in Hannibal, Missouri, at home in Hartford, Connecticut, at a birthday dinner at Delmonico's, at his billiards table, etc., plus a photo of his steamboat pilot's certificate, and more. 64-page hardcover pocket gift book with two-tone gold cover and full-color interior.
