5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, July 4, 2009
By Kay Drew "Kay" (Mid-West, USA) - See all my reviews
I adore this anthology! I've read over half of the stories. The print is easy to read and the font is a good size. Perfect for anyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved every story..., February 12, 2009
I bought this for a college sophomore english class, but every one of the stories are pieces of fiction worthy to be read for mere pleasure. This is short story literature at its finest!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for short story writers and readers, December 19, 2009
By John A. Sarconi (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While at the end of the book, Beverly Lawn gives advise from a selection of one story, this is not a "How To" book in the usual sense. The stories themselves, by some of the greatest authors, do the teaching. Read like a writer and you will get a weath of education from this book. It's one to read over and over and points one to other works by the same authors worthy of reading as well.
