I would have to agree with K on this one. . .that sounds like a good number for a good book of short stories. . . not too long. . .

Sorry, have to disagree with both o' ya - books of short stories aren't usually compiled around the amount of stories, but rather the amount of overall PAGES. 250-300 seems average for SF/Fantasy genre short story books... How many pages other genres have is..?
