Title: Great Choice
Review: When all you do is work like I do someone has little idea how much this type of book is appreciated. It gives normalcy of conversation and joyful rememorances each time I read the few pages I squeeze into my nights.Sometimes I double read a page to make the memories of the occurrences stick. When I go to sleep the treacherous days activities that I had experienced are now gone. Thank you for being a writer, you make happy readers.
Reviewer: A thoroughly happy purchaser.

Title: Great homeschooling tool
Review: We chose this book as part of our homeschool curriculum for our daughter who is a high school sophomore. It is an excellent book for exposing a student to a variety of great writers. We also purchased the companion workbook that goes along with this book. Great enrichment & study for any high school student. I highly recommend.

Title: Mix of gems and duds in a great price and form factor
Review: Like most collections only the editor himself will like all of these stories, and everyone else will find some of them tedious though mercifully short. The collection is from 1952, and time has not been kind to some of the stories. However many of the authors are well known and even the pickiest of readers will find some gems that make this volume worthwhile. My favorites were Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums", Wilbur Daniel Steele's "How Beautiful with Shoes", and Faulkner's "That Evening Sun". The price is great and the size is perfect for your night table or for bringing on the beach.
