But for Mark Twain’s action this would have been impossible. Now for the first time you get a complete set of all Mark Twain’s writings at just exactly one-half the price they have ever been sold before. This is a new edition, just as complete as the old one, which still sells, by the way, at $50.00. This new edition is only $25.00—for the 25 volumes. Neer before has a copyrighted library set aL a standard author's works been issued at such a low figure.
