Here's what Bill has to say:<br />Hi Steve--<br /><br />Yep, there are two: OPENING SHOTS and OPENING SHOTS VOLUME TWO, both large format trade paperbacks edited by Lawrence Block and published by Cumberland House in 2000 and 2001 respectively. Lots of copies of both available cheap on ABE. My first story, "You Don't Know What It's Like," appears in the second volume, for what that info is worth.<br /><br />Best,<br />BillGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-35750823807081542272010-09-04T10:36:21.037-07:002010-09-04T10:36:21.037-07:00Oh, man, I visited that museum in Newport News way...Oh, man, I visited that museum in Newport News way back in the early 90s.
