You didn't say /whose/ list /where/. I know of several Asimov
sites that maintain a copy of "The Opus" list(s) using the
original numbering used by Asimov.
My first take on your bafflement is that someone found that "The
Mammoth ..." book contained one of Asimov's works in it, and
stuck it in there roughly chronologically.
My first thought was to see if Edward Seiler's web page,
http://www.asimovonline.com/asimov_home_page.html,
particularly his "big lists"
"A "big list" of all known editions [that is, known by the list
compiler, Ed Seiler] of Asimov's books, in order of publication.
This includes title, publisher, year of publication, number of
pages, size, Library of Congress call number, Dewey number, ISBN,
and Library of Congress card catalog number. (183k)
Note: This file has been formatted for 132 columns.
http://www.asimovonline.com/oldsite/asimov_big_list.html
"The "big list" in alphabetical order by title. (183k)
Note: This file has been formatted for 132 columns."
http://www.asimovonline.com/oldsite/asimov_big_list_by_title.html
could shed any light. Got it in one, on the first "Big List":
600 P The Mammoth Book Of Golden Age Carroll & Graf
Jul-89 504 PS648.S3M37 813.08 0-88184-480-2 89-831
Science Fiction : Short Novels
Of The 1940's
It would appear that its proper Opus # is 600.
