About This Item
The Library of America, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. First printing thus, near fine blue cloth hardcover (no dust jacket as called for with this edition) shows just a touch of shelf and trace wear including bumping to bottom corner of group of pages, else tight and clean, in a near fine Library of America slipcase showing just a hint of wear as well. 1050 pages. Still a pleasing copy of this 61st installment in the popular LOA line.
Synopsis
One of the most famous travel books ever written by an American, here is an irreverent and incisive commentary on the "New Barbarians'" encounter with the Old World. Twain's hilarious satire impales with sharp wit both the chauvinist and the cosmopolitan.
