First edition first print hardback of ESSAYS AND SKETCHES OF MARK TWAIN selected by Stuart Miller and published by Barnes and Noble Books in 1995.

The book is in near fine condition (black and red boards with gilt lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which also has no wear to speak of. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.

The Essays and Sketches of Mark Twain are fifty-two short pieces of Twain's writing that comment on both literary - for example, "Is Shakespeare Dead?" -- and social - as in, "My Watch" -- interests. Twain speaks his mind on a variety of public issues and is especially passionate in his anti-imperialist stance. According to Twain's views on the human condition, the best to be hoped for is that we can be persuaded to rise above our selfish nature and work for the betterment of the community at large.
