Spider Robinson has published two books about a wonderful bar called
"Callahan's Crosstime Saloon", also the title of the first. (Its sequel
is called "Time Travellers Strictly Cash", but I haven't got that one yet).
This was my first exposure to Spider Robinson, and won't be my last.  It's
not a new book:  published 1977, but most of the shorts were run in Analog.
It's not REALLY a book of short stories; more like an ongoing series with
"guest appearances" by people who are the sort who need to find Callahan's.
(I'm definitely NOT a fan of short stories.)
	I'd consider this a fine read for anyone who likes humour in their
SF...(I'll e-mail the blurb off the back of the book, which does a good job
of summarizing what to expect, to anyone who wants it...)
	Off in search of Callahan's...
