1: Short Story Feast
This is a big book but well worth the price and time if you are a serious reader of short stories or trying to write them (as I am). You will find a comprehensive collection of the finest stories from the first efforts down to the present. There is also a wealth of commentary and criticism on the story in general and those in the collection. The Story and Its Writer has to be one of the best single sources of short story material that's yet been assembled.

2: An Outstanding Collection of Stories and Writers
This anthology was something I stumbled upon in college and completely changed the way I approached reading and writing. The stories are a wide variety and the writers writing about writing is a fantastic resource. This is one of the most precious pieces to my library and a must for any serious reader and writer.

3: WRONG BOOK
Becareful this book is a resource for teachers. Stories are not complete. Good book for reference but not for learning.

5: Course Book I Actually Want to Keep Reading
This compilation of short stories was used for my Intro. to the Short Story college course. Our professor only picked out certain stories but I found myself reading unassigned stories myself. Some of these stories are wonderful. My favorite was "The Widow's Son" by Mary Lavin. Some other noteworthy stories: "Hills Like White Elephants" Hemingway, "Girl" by J. Kincaid. Too many more to list, a course book I am actually keeping so I can finish reading it. Usually I can't wait to close them after the course and not see them anymore! :)
