Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A disappointing collection of fantasy
Review: The purpose of the book, as stated in its introduction, was to bring together "good writing and good art" from top-notch sci-fi/fantasy authors and illustrators. Each illustrator was chosen because his or her style seemed to uniquely fit the story he or she was visualizing.

This may have been a great idea, but it just didn't work out. In my mass market paperback edition, the illustrations were all reduced to fuzzy black-and-white sketches. The stories themselves were either run-of-the-mill dragon stories or trite parodies. This collection barely rose to the level of mediocrity.
