To satisfy the collector and the dealer, photographs of each cover, title page and points of issue (where they occur) are shown; this aids in quick identification of first editions. To assist the librarian and the scholar, primary and secondary works of Mark Twain are organized chronologically and a full section devoted to works of criticism and biography are included'.
