Barring any bad cut and pastes, those are all the Op short
stories by Hammett. Some are easily available, but have all
the Collinson stories been reprinted?
The original _Nightmare Town_ (edited by Ellery Queen) came
out in 1948 and only had four stories. I don't think
repeating the title will cause a lot of confusion. I'm really
looking forward to seeing the book. I hope it gets widely
reviewed.
