Back in 2001, Stanley Colbert � a battle-scarred book editor and literary agent who was working as a visiting professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington � put together a uncharitable volume of essays intended for students who took Introduction to Creative Writing. The little paperbound chapbook was dashed off by the university�s fledgling Publishing Laboratory.

My, how it grew. The sixth printing of �Show and Tell: Writers on Writing,� is just out, still from the Pub Lab, although copies are now being distributed by the Winston-Salem publisher John F. Blair. The tome contains some 432 pages with essays, poetry and stories by more than 30 writers.

The audience has grown, too: Copies are accessible, at a suggested price of $19.99, at Pomegranate Books, Two Sisters Bookery and Sea�hawk Book and Stock, as well as the student bookstore on campus.

According to Pub Lab director, Emily Smith, the latest �Show and Tell� includes supplies by 18 UNCW faculty members, among them Clyde Edgerton (�Raney,� �Walking Across Egypt,� �The Bible SalesmanPrincipallyNina de Gramont (�Gossip of the Starlings�) and Philip Gerard (�Cape Fear RisingLargelyas well as a number of distinguished visiting writers such as George Singleton (�The Half-Mammals of Dixie,� �Vocation Shirts for Madmen�) and Virginia Holman (�Rescuing Patty Hearst�).
