I am proud to present you with a work of genius. This edition of Huckleberry Finn features superb materials and craftsmanship. The premium quality, genuine leather is dyed with a lustrous brown finish, then carefully drawn over raised spine hubs in the finest tradition of bookbinding. The elegant spine is stamped in precious 22-karat gold. The cover features a deeply impressed, beautiful illustration. Gilded page edges, polished mirror-smooth, add a distinctive touch, and they protect your investment from humidity and dust. It's safe to judge this book by its cover because the luxury and quality continue. Inside the covers are shimmering moire endleaves, dyed a deep gold. Endleaves of this quality are prized by lovers of fine books, not only for their elegant appearance and feel, but for the strength and stability they add to the binding. For your convenience, a beautiful and practical satin ribbon page marker is dyed to match. Distinguished artist Thomas Hart Benton made 87 illustrations for this edition of Huckleberry Finn, heightening the enjoyment of reading this all-time classic. For each of them he made an entire drawing in brown wash, and then covered it with a black outline. Opposite the title page is a powerful frontspiece portrait of Mark Twain, painted in watercolors by Hodges Soileau. To add depth and insight to your reading, a revealing introduction was written especially for this edition by renowned scholar historian, Pulitzer Prize winner and writer Bernard DeVoto. He also made sure that this would be the most accurate text of the novel ever published. The paper was specially milled for this edition, using acid-neutral stock of archival quality, a key element for permanence and durability, and each page has been securely sewn in place for added strength, not glued like ordinary hardcover editions. The finished result: A luxurious edition fit for Mark Twain's masterpiece. [text by David Kalvar]

"The views of the 'Sandwich Islands' reported by America's most famous lecturer and beloved novelist in 1866 may differ somewhat from those of the visitor in the 1990s." -- from the book's back cover blurbWay before God made the radio, and a safari could be surfed, Mark Twain decided to venture to the Hawaiian Islands to report on the native population and its unique island habitat for the Sacramento Union newspaper. Catching a wave on the steamer, Ajax, in March, 1866, Twain would spend the next four months in the warmth of the islands' sun. It's pretty clear he had fun, fun, fun, watching the natives dance, dance, dance, but the good vibrations wouldn't last, and before the end of summer arrived, Twain was broke and he had to sail on sailor back home to San Francisco on the sailing vessel Smyrniote. The wild honey feel flow of Hawaii would never leave Twain. Wouldn't it be nice to do it again? Alas, Twain would never return to his surfer girl in Hawaii, but don't worry, baby, except for a severe bout with depression in his heroes and villains later years, he did, God only knows, create a completely new style in American literature, proving he just wasn't made for those times. He would remain a cork in the Pacific ocean for the rest of his life, longing 'til he died for Hawaii's sunny shores; "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean." -- SGE -- quote by Mark Twain
