The book contains Mark Twain's most memorable quips and comments arranged with the following headings on: life, love, history, culture, travel, and diverse other topics. And the quotations from the many books that Mr. Mark Twain made are kept short and more or less to the point. This is a great little quotations book from his writings and speeches.
