Hidden connections, double meanings Book

This is a decent if unexceptional collection. Most of the stories tend to the humorous, which Westlake is good at, and indeed they tend to be amusing, albeit generally not riotous. There are a few more serious ones, and a bit of SF, but they are as a rule all fairly formulaic. I had read several before in different collections, so my sense of their predictability may be based in that familiarity as much as inherent, but then, there were also several I hadn't read before, which seemed no less easy to predict. So, you, know, entertaining, but hardly a game-changer for the genre. Plus, it's pretty poorly edited; I couldn't believe how many typos I tripped over.
