Word reached the office last week that one of the five copies of Divide's Guide we donated for sale to benefit the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library was placed in the library's permanent collection in the Grosvenor Room. That our little book now resides forever in the company of the manuscript of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a breathtaking honor.

Someone you might call a satisfied customer sent this regarding Divide's Guide to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn:

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I mean I really, really enjoyed it. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time. [....] [I]t was very much like attending a great dinner party and listening to someone so well versed on a subject that he can hold an entire table’s attention. Great style…great humor…great insight. I am passing my copy on to other good friends here.

A fresh look at an American classic, Divide's Guide to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, presents Mark Twain's great novel to modern readers as it first appeared--as a daring social satire and impudent assault on literary good taste, a book that remade American literature and remains, after 125 years, a sharp-edged and moving portrait of American life.

Divide's Guide to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn brings new attention to Twain's groundbreaking artistry and offers uncommon insights into his enduring masterpiece.
