[PW] "A man who does not read books has no advantage..."

[Hans van Dok]

People,

The quotation "The man who doesn't read books has no advantage over the 
man who can't read them" (and variations), attributed to Mark Twain, has 
been mentioned on this list before.

I was looking around on Google Books and found that something called 
"Montana Libraries" attributes it to 'J. J. Fletcher in "Sand and 
Spray"'. Presumably they mean John Gould Fletcher's _Irradiations: Sand 
and Spray_ (1915).

Sadly I do not have access to this work.  I would be most grateful if 
someone who does have access to it could take a look and see if they 
could find it there.

Of course 1915 is after Mr Twain died, but if it is in there that would 
be a much better date than I know of otherwise.  It would also incline 
me, at least, _very_ much towards a belief that it belongs to Fletcher.

Regards,

Hans
