Mark Twain's Autobiography, Volume 3. Ed. Benjamin Griffin and Harriet Elinor Smith. Berkeley: Univ. of California Press, 2015. 792 pp. Cloth, $45.00. The first authoritative printing of Mark Twain's autobiographical dictations between March 1907 and December 1909, this edition completes one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the Mark Twain Papers and the University of California Press. While it may never be suitable as a classroom text, the three-volume Mark Twain's Autobiography stands as a monument to critical integrity in scholarship. (GS)

The Letters of Mark Twain and Joseph Hopkins Twichell. Ed. Harold K. Bush, Steve Courtney, and Peter Messent. Athens: Univ. of Georgia Press, 2017. 447 pp. Cloth, $44.95. Impeccably edited and introduced, this collection of Twain's correspondence with his best friend, minister of the Asylum Street Church in hartford, is well-suited to sit on the scholar's shelf beside volumes of his collected correspondence with henry h. Rogers, Mary Mason Fairbanks, and W. D. howells. (GS)
