The Best American Short Stories of the Eighties
I inherited this book from my mom-in-law. I doubt she read it herself because the pages look as if they had never been turned . But are the stories inside this book really America's best short stories in the eighties? If so, why doesn't my local library have a copy of this book? Just how do libraries decide what books to put in their collection? I'm curious because my local library seems to have a lot of very useless and boring books on the shelves. Just who gets to decide what books our local libraries carry? Does anyone know? Anyway, I'm going to keep this book on my bookshelf for now because I think any books that my local library doesn't have are keepers. Stories included in this book: Helping by Robert Stones The Emerald by Donald Barthelme
