Not read but noteworthy

Sword and Sorceress, vol. IV, VII, VIII, and X. Ed. by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Suburban Public Library recently weeded most of the volumes of this anthology from its young-adult collection. I note that it's been recommended on Fiction-L as a source of fantasy stories for female readers, and a quick scan of the tables of contents suggest that a good many current Big Names in female-oriented fantasy published early stories here. Mercedes Lackey, Diane Paxson, Vera Nazarian, and Laurell K. Hamilton are all represented. There's even a story from Charles de Lint. Perhaps one day I will have time to read them.
