damn, but this is one thicc-ass book. Personally, I prefer smaller/lighter collections, as this particular edition is a hardcover that clocks in at 976 pages. A bit unwieldy for me, but if you're the type of collector who enjoys these thicc collections, then this book is for you, as it has a lot of great stories in it and I have all the stories mentioned in this in individual collections.
