Stories To Go

These stories are short, usually just a few pages. They are quick to read and could be a good source of filler. Personally, I like a little bit more development. I think the book is well titled and worth reading.

Cover Artwork

The cover artwork is "Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash" by Giacomo Balla, 1912

Great value! Who did the cover art?

As always, Dover books are a great way to get a lot of story for your money. Any clue as to artist/title on the cover art? I've been looking for a print for ages.
