You said, "Too bad it is long, long out of print." Any ideas (from
you or others) as to why it wasn't included in all of the Schmitz
reprints that Flint edited several years back?

As I understand it, if you know the stories in the collection under
discussion and have a source that lists the contents of existing
collections for the same author and a spreadsheet, you should be able
to identify the optimal books to purchase to get of the stories in
this collection.

Just don't be surprised if you end up with multiple copies of some or
all of the stories. I did this a long time ago and, for popular
writers, it was a major problem in some cases. Modern collections that
omit one or two of the stories I wanted but have all the others -- and
it was never same one(s) that were omitted. I found this particularly
unhelpful.

In this case, it's not really a danger (it definitely is for some
authors!).  Baen, who I realize James is refusing to mention on
principle (or is it just Flint?), issued a very nice 7(?) book set,
all non-overlapping, of the complete works of Schmitz. Certainly an
appreciated reprinting of the works of an often overlooked author.
