A Pocket book of short stories : American, English… by Morris Edmund Speare

Another great collection in the overlooked field of the short story. This brittle little edition contains offerings from 22 authors. These include Hemmingway, Somerset Maugham, Parker, O. Henry, Chekhov, Stevenson, Twain etc. Worth grabbing if you see it. (Or reading it if you own it.)
