In April 1902, while the Clemens family was living in Riverdale-on-the-Hudson in New York in a rented home, Olivia Clemens signed a contract to purchase a house in Tarrytown, New York known as Hillcrest. This set is a much higher quality set than the mass printed American Publishing Company set. In 1903 when Frank Bliss decided to issue a new and lower priced uniform edition of Mark Twain's works, the set was named Hillcrest Edition. It was the first uniform edition offered by American Publishing Company to contain 23 volumes. It would also become a unique transitional edition with approximately 2500 sets being offered by American Publishing Company and a subsequent number of sets being offered by Harper and Brothers under the same Hillcrest label after Harper acquired rights to the edition in late 1903. Volumes 24 and 25.
