The Magic Shop edited by Denise Little. This is a very lightweight anthology, built on a simple premise: What if Magic Shops were real? The result is fifteen stories about events around magic shops. Like most anthologies, there are some winners and some not-so-winners... my favorite story in the book is "The Assassin's Dagger" by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, about a troubleshooter for a line of magic stores. There were several more that I enjoyed a lot too, and none that were bad. Even the misses were worth reading. This one is good light reading. Recommended.
