None. Book Description: St. Martins Press, 2000 No Jacket. First Edition. First printing, trade paperback.   Czrbr | Jun 7, 2010 |  A pretty god collection highlighted by a great short story, "The Wedding Album" by David Marusek. (Full review at my blog) (  ) KingRat | Jun 17, 2008 | Another excellent collection of stories (3.80 average). The introduction and summation is perhaps even longer, and again is worth the bonus. A bit odd to just have watched one of the movies he was talking about here, as well - The Whole Wide World.
