 I picked this book up at the local used bookstore just recently and man, what a treat. I remember reading Mall World short stories in Asimov magazine back in the early 80s when I was in high school. Well, this book collects them all and if you're wondering what the title Mall World refers to, it's exactly what you think it is. It is a gigantic space station that acts as an endless shopping mall for everybody in the solar system and it is greatly entertaining. An interesting fact, the author, Samtao Sukaretko, whose name I remembered vividly from my high school days because it's such an unusual name, when I googled his name I kept being sent to the famous composer and conductor, S.P. Samtao. Turns out it's the same guy, who knew.
