I've read a lot of books on writing, but never one specifically on short stories. So I was pretty disappointed to find that most of the things covered in this book are covered in all writing books, and even the section labelled 'how to write a short story' seemed vague and more generally about writing technique that is applicable in multiple genres/forms. The book emphasizes writing exercises and reflection so I feel it would make a good textbook, but just reading it for information I didn't find it particularly helpful. Maybe as a first book on craft, but not after the number of them I've read.
