I'm going to get with whargoul and see what we can do to make an official list out of this!  I don't think I've ever seen them all in one place like that before.  Thanks Engelbrecht for the idea and the work in putting this together.

^{Here are a few more for the list:}

• Hamilton, Edmond:  The Collected Captain Future: Volume One
• Hamilton, Edmond:  The Collected Captain Future: Volume Two
• Hamilton, Edmond:  The Collected Edmond Hamilton: Volume One: The Metal Giants and Others
• Hamilton, Edmond:  The Collected Edmond Hamilton: Volume Two: The Star-Stealers
• Hamilton, Edmond:  The Collected Edmond Hamilton: Volume Three: The Universe Wreckers
• Braunbeck, Gary A.:  Graveyard People: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories, Volume 1
• Braunbeck, Gary A.:  Home Before Dark: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories, Volume 2
• Norton, Andre:  Tales From High Hallack - The Collected Short Stories of Andre Norton, Volume: 1
• Norton, Andre:  Tales From High Hallack - The Collected Short Stories of Andre Norton, Volume: 2

Of course, we're giving away 5 copies of the first High Hallack collection in the blog which could help with your challenges.

Dave, I can't seem to be able to edit my list post as I don't have an Edit button visible - has a setting changed, or am I just blind today?

Engelbrecht - 2014-02-08 7:00 PM  Dave, I can't seem to be able to edit my list post as I don't have an Edit button visible - has a setting changed, or am I just blind today?

I don't know why you can see the edit button.  Nothing has changed.  Perhaps your login expired?

What I had in mind for the list was to add a "book type" flag to the DB so we can tag books as novel, collection, anthology, graphic novel, novella, non-fiction etc.  Then we can use that flag for searching and sorting and create a list like the series list that is an alpha paginated list of all short story collections and anthologies.  The new list would not be counted in the black list appearances number because it's only on a list for type of book rather than it making a list based on it's merits.

You're right - I had missed that edition (and, looking further, some others).  I believe that the version in the WWE db is the standalone short novel version as it's been associated with Pringle's Modern Fantasy: The 100 Best Novels list.

There are some collections & anthologies not in the WWE db from authors not represented above that are truly excellent.  You couldn't go wrong reading any of these...
