1876 Mark Twain 1st ed Adventures of Tom Sawyer Huck Finn Riverboat American

1876 Mark Twain 1^st ed Adventures of Tom Sawyer Huck Finn Riverboat American

This first edition of one of the most-recognizable American novels, Mark Twain’s ‘Adventures of Tom Sawyer’. – the first novel Twain wrote entirely by himself (MacDonnell). The opportunity to own a first edition of any Twain is uncommon, but ‘Tom Sawyer’ is the high-spot in many collectors libraries. ‘Huckleberry Finn’ also has the same appeal, but ‘Tom Sawyer’ does not carry the controversy like ‘Finn’ does.

By the time Mark Twain had passed away, ‘Tom Sawyer’ had gained some much fame and prominence that it was without-a-doubt his most successful and top-selling book. This was a true boys book, and surviving copies are proof of how rough little boys can be on books (MacDonnell, 40).
