a short stroy collection with over 25 stories in it? Are there any conditions that would make you? How many stories is too many for a Short Story collection?

25 stories isn't too many if they're good stories.

Readers Digests Condensed Collections have far too many short stories in a book! The Alfred Hitcock short stories booklets are great. The stories are short and there's never more than 30 in a booklet of any I've read. Yes there's usually about 25 stories in Alfred Hitcocks booklets.
The Strangeness at the Lighthouse is a good story short but good! I prefer books with about just 15 short stories such as Christepher Pikes
books or R. L.Stines books! They may be written for Kids but who says adults aren't to read them? Archie booklets and comics were good and had about 13 articles to book or comics. They ruined the Archie though!

It would depend on how long the short stories are. Some short stories are quite long--50 pages or so, while most are quite short--more like 10. Twenty five 10 page stories is only 250 pages, and would not be hard to tote around and read. Twenty five 50 page stories on the other hand is 1250 pages--too heavy to read comfortably if it's just one book.

Of course! Just look at some of Joyce Carol Oates' short story collections. They don't seem to have a limit.

I prefer longer stories, but sure I'd read it, if it was worth it.

I'd read it. Not all at once, but I'd go back to it over a period of time.
