Anybody got the Mark Twain Autobiography?

If so, are you as annoyed as I am by the unwieldy size and eye-destroying tiny print? To say nothing of the extended scholarly introduction and page after page of endnotes?

The part of the book that was actually written by Twain is a delight, of course. But this Scholarly Blunt Instrument puts up way too many obstacles between me and Mr. Twain's writing, I think.

Or am I wrong?

    I agree, the font size is ridiculous. I took one look and decided I'd give myself migraines. I'll stick with his fiction.

    On the bright side, in the event of a zombie apocalypse I feel (in my role as a book expert) that Twain's autobiography will make a great weapon. (Sorry, reading and watching The Walking Dead maybe making me paranoid.)
