Mark Twain : The Innocents Abroad, Roughing It (Mark Twain) 5

This review relates to the Heritage Press edition in green cloth with red and gold on the spine (circa 1962 and probably later.)

A classic and simple Heritage design, meant to evoke the 19th century. Unfinished green cloth with a real gold leaf on the spine: letters, horizontals reminiscent of decorative Victorian bands, and five images of travel (designed by illustrator Fritz Kredel.)

Inside one finds smooth, creamy paper, sub-topic headings in the margins, a judicious use of white space, and over 30 small color illustrations.

Designed by George Salter, illustated by Kredel, with an introduction by Edward Wagenknecht. In a red slipcase. 499 pp.
