4.0 out of 5 stars Collection of short stories interesting., March 25, 1999
A collection of short stories. Some previously published in various mystery magazines. Some never before published. For Matt Scudder fans there's an entry. The first ever Chip Harsion story is also in this collection. Very good reading for a Lawrence Block fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, November 27, 2001
By 
"dlstoyer" (Cheektowaga, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This is the first collection of short stories by Lawrence Block (others have necessarily followed), and contains some real gems. It is here that many readers will make their first aquaintance with Chip Harrison and Leo Haig, Block's tip of the hat to Rex Stout. Also found here for the first time are two tales about his, umm, unusually successful attorney - Ehrengraf. Also a Scudder tale for those devoted fans as well. There's a diverse collection of tales that reads smooth and quick. If you like Lawrence Block you will not be disappointed. Then, when you are done - check out Some Days You Get the Bear for more!
