[TWAIN, Mark (CLEMENS, Samuel)] [WHEELOCK, W. W.]. THE LITERARY 
GUILLOTINE. New York/London: John Lane, 1903. First Edition.

example--often with Mark Twain presiding as judge. Other "characters"

Tarkington, Richard Harding Davis, etc. Authorship has been disputed. 
Not in BAL. Minor edgewear; some chipping to spine label. 1904 owner 
signature on dedication page. Very Good copy, lacking the scarce
