A few years before he died Samuel Clemens finished a massive autobiography. He wrote to a friend at the time that he is going to give it away--but with a catch. It was not published at the time and he left a directive in his will that it was not to be published for 100 years. Mark Twain died in 1910 and the executor of his estate just put The Autobiography of Mark Twain up for publication. The release date for the first volume is November 15, 2010.

Amazon has it for pre-order both as a Kindle and paper book edition. I pre-ordered a copy and thought some others might be interested.
