A collection put together by Leigh Brackett, and he details how. Here's my files, there's 300 or so here. Seems she didn't look thrilled by going through all that. It's not so bad, a lot of novels and novelettes there that are too long for this book - which is all short stories. There are sf stories, horror stories, fantasay stories, as Hamilton also wrote for Weird Tales, etc., as well as sf mags.
Brackett gives an introduction, along with a jibe or two, and Hamilton's afterword also talks about how he came to do some early writing. A lot of stories from the thirties are to be found here.
Certainly a selection that is higher quality than what I have read of his in general, and comes out at 3.38. So a solid book.
