Great selection of shorts from well-known and lesser known authors
Some great short stories in this collection. A good way to introduce yourself to some of the more famous authors, without having to commit to a full-length book. Recommended.

That it is as described!
This is a great book to have in your possession! If you like short stories this is the one for you, You don't have to read them all at once-its a dip in book to be put back on the shelf and then taken down whenever you want to. I love it!

Not very original!
Not as exciting as it could have been. However, maybe I’ve just read too many books like this one!

My daughter loves old stories and old looking books even more. This fits the bill on both counts. It's beautifully made and looks wonderful on her bookshelf

I think it was worth my attention
It was a gift and was well received. Took an ordinary book to a nicer more collectible level. The stories are what they are I just wanted to bring a little pizzazz to the reading experience.

Pages not cut properly, I had to manually separate them
First of all this short story collection looks like an interesting collection. I’m keen to read it and write a fuller review after I do. The reason I’m leaving a review at this early stage is to report that the pages are not cut properly, in that you might find with your copy (like I found with mine), you might have to separate them. Initially I thought I would have to return the book but it’s not too difficult to do. I’ll work on separating them as I come to each new story. I intend to read one story a night, so it’s not a big ask for me. Other than this the collection looks presentable and readable. I’m deducting one star for this error of the pages not properly separated. After I finish reading I will report further on how I found the stories in the collection.
