The library of the Cloisters Castle included a whole bunch of books. One was this signed copy of Mark Twain stories. The inscription is not exactly as witty as you'd expect from Mr Clemens.
"This is the authorized Uniform Edition of all my books."
-Mark Twain
This is because it is PRINTED! We were fooled. Ah well.
From here:
"Tens of thousands of sets of the complete works of Mark Twain were made, the most common sets contain Mark Twain's printed endorsement which is a facsimile of his handwriting printed at the beginning of every single volume, "This is the authorized Uniform Edition of all my books. Mark Twain." All of these are printed. In areas of the Internet where anything goes, such as online auctions that offer no bona fide guarantee, these volumes have fetched upwards of $1,000 each! That company has rules against notifying a buyer or seller that an item is phony during or even after the auction, as it amounts to "auction interference" which is punishable by banishment from using their site. These books are actually only worth a few dollars. In the autograph world it definitely pays to deal with an honest, reliable expert. "

We didn't actually get to enter this room, and with good reason -- the collection of rare books is one of France's most extensive. It was cool to see from this angle, though.
Unusual to see such a giant organ in a library - but I think this is also used as a concert room and dancing hall!
