Well, it's an anthology, true, but it's three single stories, one from each of three other (much longer) anthologies.
It isn't a "sample" of a single book and it's a bit better than some of the extended samples or single story from an anthology choices, but it isn't long enough that the publisher could seriously consider selling it in a store (although I've seen them try) -- it's the tiny mini-book, stapled, bigger than pamphlet giveaway you stuff in everyone's bag at a convention or have a store hand out during a promotion.
