Heinlein Cover Art: Collections/Anthologies
This page shows four types of books: 1) the singular anthology of Tomorrow the Stars, which drew together other authors’ stories under Heinlein’s editorship; 2) the various Heinlein books—including Virginia Edition volumes of Future History and other early stories—containing several stories which usually had been published earlier in magazines; 3) posthumous books of correspondence, namely Grumbles from the Grave and then the three volumes of the Virginia Edition that feature a whopping 450,000 words of Heinlein’s letters; and 4) other editors’ anthologies that contain works of Heinlein.
Perhaps I should have considered Waldo and Magic, Inc. as being a collection, since it contains two novellas...but I didn’t; for that one you’ll simply have to go back to my “Earlier Adult Works” page.

Heinlein was the editor of this collection rather than author of the stories—very quaint cover art on this edition, however.

This trudge through the slush of a gas giant's moon has zero relation to either tale inside...but it sure is eye-catching!
Nifty wild-eyed big-screen SF dictator rant in background.

One of those British covers that are lovely and striking and yet have zero connection with anything inside...
