When browsing I found this page, and found it very helpful for looking for another book to read. Is this the only collection, or are there others?

There are other collections, but there is no page listing all of the
collections at the moment. If a work is in a collection it will say so
just under the book title on the book's details page.

A sort of sketchy way to look through all books which are part of a collection is to search for "belongs-to-collection" on the standardebooks github page. Something like this: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Astandardebooks+belongs-to-collection&type=code

Looking through it, the only other collection which is in the spirit of the modern library 100 would be the pulitzer prize winners: https://standardebooks.org/collections/pulitzer-prize-winners

Most of the collections however are just collections for certain types of books like https://standardebooks.org/collections/sherlock-holmes or https://standardebooks.org/collections/psmith. Collections are also used for series of books like https://standardebooks.org/collections/growth-trilogy

That is so neat! Thanks for the information. Yeah, if there are not that many it makes sense that they are not presented that way.
