Obscure but interesting short stories. Not brilliant but very original.
One spectacular exception is Tunesmith. One of the best sci-fi stories i've ever read. Top 20 if not better.

Some enjoyable short story speculations on the nature of art and music from a futurist perspective.
I have read and liked a couple of Biggles novels. This is a collection of short stories and I lost interest in all of them.
Water-damaged.
