        Yes. There are two 3-in-1 anthologies published by Castle Books
        (a division of Book Sales, Inc. of Seacaucus, NJ). They have
        similar titles but different content:

        THE BEST OF JULES VERNE (Castle Books, 1978) 0-89009-270-2
                "The World of Jules Verne" by Alan K. Russell
                Around the World in Eighty Days
                The Clipper of the Clouds
                Journey to the Centre of the Earth
                "Jules Verne at Home" by Marie A. Belloc
                "Books by Jules Verne"

        JULES VERNE: CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION (Castle Books, 1981) 0-89009-408-X
                "The World of Jules Verne" by Alan K. Russell
                "Verne and Films" by Alan K. Russell
                From the Earth to the Moon
                Round the Moon
                Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

        These editions are not too difficult to find since they were often
        sold on bargain tables at US bookstores. I would imagine that
        several copies are available on the used book databases. The best
        way to check several of them at once is to search with:

                http://www.bookfinder.com

        One database not covered with this search engine, and therefore must
        be searched separately, is:

                http://www.bibliofind.com
