Rebekah, the edition you linked had no English language physical edition. I combined it with The Complete Humorous Sketches and Tales of Mark Twain, which has 722 pages, so you also get 10 Jumbo points. The original publication date is in the 20th Century and there are fewer than 5k adds, so also a combo for 20.2.
