This is, for want of a better term, a curious little book. Three annotated stories from three authors, each of whom come at writing from a different angle (character, worldbuilding, idea) combined with lots of more general advice about writing. It manages to be both high-level and very nitty gritty. Not so much for those who want a how-to, or even practical actionable tips, but it's full of little gems of "try thinking about things through this lens", and developing and trusting your instincts.

Also, the stories were all great.
