Rostrum,

CASTLE OF DAYS is an omnibus of BOOK OF DAYS (short stories) and
CASTLE OF THE OTTER (all about TBOTNS) and a third section of
scattered non-fiction, some previously unpublished.

"La Befana" in IDDAOSAOS, BOD, COD
"A Criminal Proceeding" in PE, SFTOH
"The Death of Doctor Island" in IDDAOSAOS, WA
"Death of the Island Doctor" in WA, SFTOH
"The Detective of Dreams" in PE, ES

"The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories" in IDDAOSAOS, WA
"The Marvelous Brass Chessplaying Automaton" in PE, SFTOH
"The Rubber Bend" in PE, SFTOH
"When I was Ming the Merciless" PE, ES

(This from a list of 160+ fictions.  Not counting poetry.)

BOD = GENE WOLFE'S BOOK OF DAYS
COD = CASTLE OF DAYS
ES = ENDANGERED SPECIES
IDDAOSAOS = ISLAND OF DOCTOR DEATH...
PE = PLAN[E]T ENGINEERING
SFTOH = STOREYS FROM THE OLD HOTEL
WA = THE WOLFE ARCHIPELAGO (collection of the =four= island stories)

Or was the question more about the Uncollected?  That is, buying
anthologies and magazines that each have one Wolfe story (so-far)
uncollected in a book of Wolfe short stories?

The short answer is probably "Buy URTH-MAN EXTRAORDINARY for five
bucks and use it to form your blueprint buying-plan."
