Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. MARK TWAIN IN ELMIRA NEW YORK QUARRY FARM BY JEROME & WISBEY 1977. I had no idea that Mark Twain used to spend his summers near Elmira, New York at his Quarry Farm residence, nor did I know that he is actually buried there. Please find a book about those days after the Civil War to the turn of the Century. I have included a photo of the first page of the Introduction for your information and to set the stage for an understanding of the book on offer here. Please find: Mark Twain in Elmira, edited by Robert D. Jerome and Herbert A. Wisbey, Jr. This small hard cover book (6 ¼ x 9 ¼ inches, 242 pages) was published by the Mark Twain Society of Elmira, New York, dated 1977, and the Third Printing (so stated). The book is bound in red buckram with silver gilt titles on cover and spine. The book is well illustrated, with b&w photos throughout; my count on the List includes the Frontispiece and about 40 + pages more. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are clean and bright and really unbumped and with still bright silver gilt titles. Inside the hard covers, someone has pasted-in a theatre ticket to a performance of Mark Twain Musical Drama, held in Horseheads, New York in September of 1991. They have also left their inked name on the same front endpaper. Otherwise, the book inside is untouched and unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
