Mm. . . not that I'm aware. _The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth_ 
["the one with the honking long title and the dead fish on the cover"] and 
_The Last Defender of Camelot_ were named (exactly) for stories in their 
books; _Frost and Fire_ was more or less named for "Permafrost" and, uh, 
another story in the collection that I can't remember. (I don't think it 
was "24 Views. . ." but it might have been.) _Four For Tomorrow_ was, well, 
a collection of four stories. I'm unaware of any other collections out there.

(And I'm duly envious of you for having gotten your copy of MfH. Still 
waiting on mine.)

Is there somewhere an online list of stories that Brust has written? Off 
the top of my head, all I can come up with are the five from the Liaveks 
and the one in _Sandman: Book of Dreams_, though I think there was one in 
the Zelazny tribute _Lord of the Fantastic_ as well.
