I bought this book for a college lit class in the univ bookstore and it cost almost as much used as it is here new. Throughout the course, after researching, I found many of the stories, which are quite short, you can find online. The one great thing about this book though is it has an excellent glossary. It is a plethora of Spanish vocabulary that you won't find in a regular dictionary because some of the words might be indigenous to a certain region or area. It also has footnotes for regional idiomatic phrases that you might have trouble translating with a regular sp/en dictionary. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is for the cost.
