Helpful Score: 2
I use short stories as introduction to authors and this is a good selection of authors--and you better believe I'll have some good selective material to choose on my next book purchases--excellant stories-of course--there are a few that I'd rather not have read but not many--this helps me decide what I want and don't want when I go cruising the book shelves-save me money in the long run
