I'm an early fan of LMB, and enjoyed this collection as a fleshing out of the Vorkosigan saga. What was more interesting to me was the essay on how LMB became a writer, and what were the influences on her writing. I have gone on from this to find that the writers that LMB admires are almost as readable as she is! This is not a book for the general public looking to read something on the beach, but it is a must-have for the serious fan's collection to be complete.

Although I would not recommend this collection to those who have yet to read most of the Miles novels, I highly recomend this book to those who are fans. From the pronunciation guide to the extended family tree, this book completes the Miles collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars For hard-core LMB fans only, October 30, 1999

I found this collection interesting because it gave a glimpse of the birth of a wonderful writer - and showed how much hard work goes into learning the trade well enough to produce a masterpiece like the Vorkosigan series. The best of the stories is a Sherlockian tribute that features the literary foremother of Cordelia Naismith. I am glad I bought it, but would recommend it to hard-core Lois McMaster Bujold fans only!
