One of his best
My first Issac Asimov book i read was puzzles of the black widows and after that I read the rest of the series and was hooked on Asimov's works. I like his style of writing and his different times his storys are set. The title Isaac Asimov Presents the Best Crime Stories of the 19th Century is a bit misleading as many of the stories are written by different authors. I still loved the book and recommend it to everyone.

A Book I Can Never Forget!
I read and re-read this book in high school, and then loaned it to a chemistry teacher I liked. I never got it back, and have regretted it ever since, though it was around 1984. While I am sure my tastes have changed somewhat in the intervening 16 years, I remember that the stories were very novel and inspiring, from "hard sci-fi" type stories of someone left on earth after everyone else had evacuated it, to stories with metaphysical implications about the nature of reality. It must have fulfilled some teen fantasy for me about being left alone to do as I liked with the entire world as my plaything, a fantasy I rehashed for many years after I read the book. If you find this book in some used book store somewhere, buy it!! (And don't loan it out.)

fun fantasy anthology
This fantasy anthology provides fans with the introductory story that sixteen fan favorites started their illustrious respective career. The contributions are fun to read though the quality varies with none being atrocious, but not all sixteen being incredibly fantastic. With each tale, the author of that story furnishes an interesting introduction that includes insight and understanding into their career. Clearly not for the casual genre reader, the fascination is not just with each tale, albeit as engaging they are, but also to compare the MAGICAL BEGINNINGS with recent releases from a virtual who's who.

Sixteen Very Good Mysteries
Barbara D'Amato, Sue Henry, Jill Churchill, and Alan Russell are a few of the authors in this collection of mysteries. The stories are short and there is information about each author and the books they've written at the end of each story. I think the Malice Domestic series offers the best story selection of any of the anthologies I've read

Great holiday tales
After enjoying "Holmes for the Holidays", I was glad that the editors were putting out a second volume of Christmas stories involving Holmes and Watson. Some of the writings in this book were better than those in the first version, and some weren't that great. One of my favorites was "The Adventure of the Second Violet"--I thought it was very clever!

Something Different
I haven't tried the recipes in the book, but if they are anything like the stories, they would be pretty good.

Enjoyable, Diverse Collection
Here is a group of stories with enough diversity to please anyone's taste. The authors have, through fiction, presented the people of the West, their customs, dreams, triumphs, and defeats, and done it in a way to keep the reader going. The infusion of humor brings a welcome chuckle to the at times discouraging and hard life described in the writings. In short, these stories bring reality into the myth of the Old West.

Interesting Lineup
Lest's see... stories by Gregory Benford, Paul Di Filippo, Stanley Schmidt, Tanya Huff, and 10 others including Wil McCarthy himself. The skew is mainly but not totally toward hard science fiction. Some of the fairy tales are recognizable (even named the same as the original), and some are not. Are they well disguised, or perhaps original? Fine reads in any case. Much better than you usually find in these concept anthologies.
McCarthy's introduction is illuminating: "Fairy tales are among our most formative influences, adding a visceral heft and sting to the purely verbal warnings of authority. But fairy tales, without exception, hinge on a supernatural occurrence. And in a way, this seemed to undermine their authority, to relegate them to some other universe where things like that could really happen."
Though not quite up to the level of Starlight, this is an excellent collection by some of the best writers in the field.

Una excelente compilación de los amigos de Asimov
Las historias, unque no son de autoría de Asimov, vienen acompañadas por su introducción individual y él mismo explica porqué le ha llamado tal o cual historia, que es lo que abarcaría un cuento. De verdad los cuentos son muy llamativos, como los otros dos de la serie. Lo malo es que después el lector enferma de "solitosis".
