Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of Adventure: Stories of Desert Places In these volumes the word adventure has been used in its broadest sense to cover not only strange happenings in strange places but also love and life and death - all things that have to do with the great adventure of living. Questions as to the fitness of a story were settled by examining the qualities of the narrative as such rather than by reference to a technical classification of short stories. It is the inalienable right of the editor of a work of this kind to plead copyright difficulties in extenuation for whatever faults it may possess. We beg the reader to believe that this is why his favorite story was omitted while one vastly inferior was included.
