Anthology Scorecard

Most GAD readers will already know that the so-called mystery anthology is usually an undernourished and pathetic thing, with a minority of mysteries padded out with non-mystery stories of the most dull and predictable kind. I thought it would be interesting to assemble a list of anthologies with a score for each one: how many real mysteries it actually contains. So dig through your shelves and help build this list!
