Review Quotes:
"Something for every mystery taste. An excellent value for the money." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The first 50 pages of this giant volume are packed with valuable and fascinating material--and you haven't even gotten to the stories yet. . . . As for the stories, they literally provide something for every mystery taste." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The World's Finest Mystery and Crime Stories: Second Annual Collection "Veteran anthologists Gorman and Greenberg have pulled out all the stops in an ambitious attempt to produce the definitive yearbook of the short mystery. . . . Indeed the biggest mystery is how a single year could have produced a bumper crop of so many outstanding tales." --Kirkus Reviews on The World's Finest Mystery and Crime Stories: Second Annual Collection
