Customer Reviews

I hope you have large pockets.

I'm enjoying this anthology right now and I love the stories and such inside. Thank you for a good book. Not pocket size, though. Haha!

All the Literature you'll ever need!

This arguably pocket-sized book has an insane amount of literature rolled into one neat little package. This 1000+ page collection has a good mix of short stories, poetry and drama from the best writers of our time, ranging from William Shakespeare to Ernest Hemingway to Alice Munroe, and STILL fits in most of my purses. If you are an English major, minor or just love literature, this is the perfect edition. The only reason it didn't get 4 stars is because the short stories could have diversified a bit from the usual suspects. I have four different collections and all of them have the same 16 or so stories.

AWSOME!

I recieved this book in a very speedy manner, in very good condition, and was very surprised that it was takin' such good care of. Thank you!!

Great book.

With excellent short stories, poems and even plays this book will keep you entertained for months.
