this collection of short stories is far and away better than the first in the series (i think it's the last of 3, at least with these editors). there were only a couple of stories that i wanted to skip and many that led me to check out other works by a number of the authors.
A collection of lesbian stories - some are real stand outs others are merely "there". All are fairly well written, mostly personal stories. Fairly good reading.
