Opening Shots - Volume Two - Lawrence Block
- More Great Mystery and Crime Writers Share Their First Published Stories
"Each writer has included an introduction worth the price of admission all by themselves," observes Block. "Writers, it seems to me, are never more eloquent or more interesting that when they reminisce about their early days, and recalling one's first success seems a spur of anecdotage for most of us."
