I ended up checking the Contento/Locus SF Index at sff.net -- a big win, since Charlie Brown of Locus and William Contento have the best data on SF collections, magazine appearances, anthologies, etc. available. It's _Left to his own devices_. _Scholars and Soldiers_ is another (out of print) collection.

For more details, check out www.sff.net/locus/f16.html

I just picked up a paperback of Ash in Borders on Charing Cross Road.
It is ENORMOUS, with a price to match -- 15 pounds sterling.

Hmm, I'm sure I've read that published in a book by itself, but I
can't check that right now and as you say, Amazon is useless. I picked
it up in a bookshop on Oxford Street of Charing Cross Road, but other
than that I dunno.
