Ok, I just dug out my copy of The Compleat Enchanter, by L. Sprague
de Camp & Fletcher Pratt, copyright (c) 1975 by L. Sprague De Camp.
From the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (on copyright page):

THE INCOMPLETE ENCHANTER (including "The Roaring Trumpet" and "The
Mathematics of Magic") copyright (c) 1941 by Henry Holt and Company.
A somewhat different form of this novel appeared in the May and
August 1940 issues of @i(Unknown), copyright (c) by Street & Smith,
Inc.

THE CASTLE OF IRON Copyright (c) 1941 by Street & Smith, Inc for
@i(Unknown), April 1941.

Book Club Edition:  December 1975

First Ballantine Books Edition:  April 1976 Third Printing:  June
1980

First Canadian Printing:  May 1976

According to the Afterword, the three stories mentioned above were
the first three written by de Camp and Pratt concerning Harold
Shea.  @i(The Castle of Iron) was originally a novella, but extended
to novel length after Holt published @i(The Incomplete Enchanter).
They also wrote two more stories, @i(The Wall of Serpents) and
@i(The Green Magician).  These were published in a cloth-bound
edition, probably in the 1950s.

There are no "other books" listed in the front, so I suppose that
at the time my copy was printed (1980), Ballantine had reprinted
neither @i(The Wall of Serpents) nor @i(The Green Magician).  Does
anyone know if they have been reprinted in any form since the cloth-
bound edition?  I'd like to read them!
