Billboard magazine had this to say about The World's Shortest Stories Vol. 1, What is most impressive in this collection of great stories is the sheer variety. Let's hope a second volume of these tiny gems will not be long in coming!
Well, here it is!
Love and death, and all of the horror in between. A second helping of the most amazing short stories ever written; each one just 55 words long! Imagine O. Henry's tales if he'd only had the back of a business card to write upon.
Includes stories from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, Barnaby Conrad, Alfred C. Martino, Neil Steinberg, Herbert Gold, Norman Lear, Larry Niven, and more.

"Read this in high school and used a comic in it for my paper on Anna Karenina. Since I'm leading the Anna Karenina book club in February, I thought I'd see if I can find that comic again. Plus Margaret loves "Chibby Brown." " — Heather (5 out of 5 stars)

" Listening on audio. Only moderately impressed. Still, inspired to write a 55 word story... a good one. "
" Some were good, most were completely forgettable. The art was odd and ill-fitting. Sharper illustrations could have made this a more valuable volume. "
" I'm not a fan of short stories, but this book, like its predecessor, "The World's Shortest Stories," is a lot of fun. A great premise(each story is told in 55 words), and naturally, a quick read. "
" This was too much fun! "
" Thanks, neighbor... here I go :) "
" if i included every peanuts book ever published, it would take up my whole list, so i'll just include this one as a representative "
" Just a fun look back at Peanuts "
" I used to stay at my Nana and Grandpa's house a lot in Boulder City, NV. I would "walk uptown" to the library to check out books while I was there. I read all of the Peanuts comic books that they had. "
" One of the greatest comic strips of all time. "
" When I find myself in times of trouble, brother Charlie comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, GOOD GRIEF! "
