Keokuk Public Library Foundation Republishes Twain Book
Reserve your copy of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass for your library or that Twain lover in your life – just in time for Christmas.
In 1856 Samuel Clemens was inspired to travel after reading stories of Lynch and Herndon’s exploration of the Valley of the Amazon. Clemens approached George Rees of the Keokuk Daily Post with the idea of sending travel letters to the paper to help pay his way, and Rees agreed to pay him $5 for each letter. In 1928, the travel letters were printed in a limited edition of 375 books, dubbed The Adventures of Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass.
All of the printing and binding is being done locally, in Denmark, Iowa.
The cost is $49.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling, if delivered.
For more information on the project, see the library’s website: http://www.keokuk.lib.ia.us/archive/2007/09/snodgrass-pr
