A novel electron acceleration approach with two overlapping linearly polarized laser pulses in vacuum is proposed. By our simulation, the energy and space spreads can reduce greatly comparing with the acceleration with only one laser pulse having doubled peak laser intensity for realistic laser parameters and the average energy gain from our scheme can be doubled for certain pulse lengths, at the same time. Using numerical simulation, analytical criteria for optimal regimes of our acceleration scheme is found.
