Joe and Ellie Curtis, proprietors of C Street's Mark Twain Bookstore inspect Mark Twain A to Z, which they consult daily. Their store offers one of the largest assortments of Mark Twain materials--including books in and out of print--under one roof anywhere. It also has a large number of books, papers, and ephemeral materials relating to Nevada history, the opening of the West, and local mining. A virtual museum of historical relics line the store's walls. The store is in one of the few remaining Virginia City structures built in 1862.
