2017 Amazon review:
Thorough and enjoyable - if you love Vonnegut, you need this in your library
I received this as a gift and absolutely love it. It's on my coffee table and I find myself picking it up and browsing through when I get a few minutes to relax. Never fails to provide an "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is" moment. It's a treat to be reminded of all of his stories. I quickly devoured all of the entries on my favorite, "Player Piano," when I first received it. And for any students studying Vonnegut, they owe Marc Leeds - big time!
