[[MultiVolumeWork Made up of two volumes]], these [[{{Anthology}} collections]] were intended to be an exhaustive series of Creator/IsaacAsimov's fiction. ''Volume 1'' was first printed in 1990, and ''Volume 2'' was first printed in 1992. [[OrphanedSeries No additional volumes have been created yet.]]

Three previous collections, ''Literature/EarthIsRoomEnough'', ''Literature/NineTomorrows'' and ''Literature/NightfallAndOtherStories'', were wholly republished to form the first volume (except for [[TheAnnotatedEdition the preface of each story]] from ''Nightfall and Other Stories''). No collections were wholly republished for volume two.

!!''Isaac Asimov: The Complete Stories'' contains examples of:
* {{Anthology}}: Dr Asimov, in conjunction with {{Creator/Doubleday}}, began this series with the intent of publishing all of the short fiction he had ever published. The introduction implies the goal of republishing his novels under this title as well.
* BilledAboveTheTitle: Regardless of which title or volume you're looking at, "Creator/IsaacAsimov" is sized at one-third of the cover, always making it larger than the rest of the title.
* DividedForPublication: The UK printing by Creator/HarperCollins chose to split ''Volume 1'' into their own volumes 1 and 2, without publishing additional volumes for ''Volume 2'' of this collection. The Harper Collins volume 1 ends with "Literature/TheLastQuestion" and volume 2 starts with "Literature/TheUglyLittleBoy".
* {{Doorstopper}}:
** ''Volume 1'' contains over 600 pages, and just under 50 stories/poems.
** ''Volume 2'' is slightly smaller, with over 500 pages, and only 40 stories/poems.
* MultiVolumeWork: When the first volume was published, it wasn't certain how many volumes it would take to republish all of Dr Asimov's short fiction. The series, [[OrphanedSeries being obviously incomplete]], may stay that way due to [[AuthorExistenceFailure Dr Asimov's death]] the same year ''Volume 2'' was published.
* NumberedSequels: The title for each [[{{Anthology}} collection]] is ''The Complete Stories'', while ''[[{{Title 1}} Volume 1]]'' and ''Volume 2'' are subtitles to distinguish [[MultiVolumeWork between volumes]].
* Title1: Given the popularity of Dr Asimov, it was considered a good investment to try publishing all of his previously published works in a comprehensive format, which necessitated [[MultiVolumeWork multiple volumes]] to produce. The second volume was published fifteen months after the first volume.
* {{Omnibus}}: ''Volume 1'' was created by choosing three previous [[{{Anthology}} collections]] and reprinting them as a single volume. The foreword is clear that this series was intended to be an omnibus for Dr Asimov's entire publication history.
* OrphanedSeries: The introduction of ''Volume 1'' makes it clear that Dr Asimov was intending to work with {{Creator/Doubleday}} to republish all of his fiction in a format that would make finding stories easy, but having only 88 stories/poems when his short ScienceFiction is more than two hundred shows that at least two more volumes would be needed. Once you add in the MysteryFiction and {{Poetry}} counts, the two lonely volumes look very incomplete.
