	Could this be *The Book of Fantasy* by B & BC, published by Viking in
1988? It's a collection of stories by other authors first pub'd in 1940 in
the Argentine. The first is by Akutagawa, but this edition is arranged
alphabetically (aleph-abetically?) by authors. There's a Bradbury, a couple
of Chestertons, etc. 
	Let us know if it's the same book.
