Liar

They didn't put the proper address on my order so they shipped it back to the sender a month ago. I start class next week and I dont have my textbook or my money back.

A must for short story writers and readers

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.

Awesome!

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.

loved every story...

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!

Great Book

I am very pleased with this book. I purchased it for an English class am taking and could not be happier with the content of the stories. I would recommend this book to anyone.
