Illustrated with photogravure frontis portraits and roughly 160 illustrations throughout the set. This is set #198 of 1024 with a tipped-in leaf signed by Mark Twain as: ''S.L. Clemens / Mark Twain'' in the first volume. Bound opposite sheet is signed additionally by Mark Twain's biographer Albert Bigelow Paine after his explanatory about the signed leaves: ''The fly-leaf was signed by Mark Twain in 1906 in anticipation of the publication of this edition which did not appear until after his death.''

Some discoloration to spines of each volume and almost all have dampstaining to front pastedown and free endpaper.
