Hmm, actually I appear to have made a mistake! My apologies. I'm not sure what I was looking at the first time, but I went back to look at "The Best of Frank O'Connor" and found a different list, and this one seems to include every short story from our monthly selection except for "The Corkerys" (and that one could have been re-named). They are, of course, in a different order and mixed in with others in this book, but they're almost all there, so for people wanting to buy an ebook in the U.S., Hamlet53's recommendation of "The Best of Frank O'Connor" seems a great choice.

ETA - I found my mistake. The first time, I looked at "Collected Stories" of Frank O'Connor, also over 700 pages, which is the one that seems to only contain about half of our monthly selection's stories, and confused it with "The Best of Frank O'Connor".
