There is a lot of access to Smith's stories, as he is continuing to be published under various collections. Most of his work can be found on the Web with very little time or trouble. Below is an amended list of what I consider the foundation of his most popular production. Consider the Arkham editions to be collectible and expensive and the paperbacks moderately priced for reader level, as everything is currently out of print.

The main six Arkham House collections are:

Out of Space and Time , 1942

Lost Worlds , 1944

Genius Loci , 1948

The Abominations of Yondo , 1960

Tales of Science and Sorcery , 1964

Other Dimensions , 1970

Panther in the UK published all six collections intact in the 1970s, breaking some of them into volumes I and II. Ballantine with its Adult Fantasy Series under the influence of Lin Carter, re-arranged the stories into their various cycles:

Zothique , 1970

Hyperborea , 1971

Xiccarph , 1972

Poseidonis , 1973

Unfortunately, the Averoigne Cycle was never anthologized.

Timescape threw its ink into the rink in the 1980s, collating them differently and themed in a way I have yet to comprehend:

The City of the Singing Flame , 1981

The Last Incantation , 1982

The Monster of the Prophesy , 1983

In the late '80s to mid '90s, Necronomicon Press re-issued the tales from Zothique and Hyperborea plus chapbooks of individual stories based upon the original—in some cases quite different—text from Smith's manuscripts and notes.

http://www.eldritchdark.com/ is one of the best dedicated author sites on the net and the first place to look for anything concerning CAS. His artwork—including sculptures and paintings—is extensively reproduced and detailed.

http://www.worldofschmitt.com/writings/smith/ contains on-line versions of many of his stories. So, if you are looking for an obscure or astray tale to peruse, check here. --THIS RESOURCE HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF LINE AS OF 2007, SO YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
