Bridging the Galaxies
Illustrated by Alicia Austin, San Francisco Science Fiction Conventions Inc. 1993. A special publication for ConFrancisco,
the 51st World Science Fiction Convention at which Larry Niven and Alicia Austin were Honoured Guests. It is extremely rare.
Ted Scribner proudly owns a copy signed by the author.
Very Rare, but sometimes seen on amazon.com as a used book. Click the book cover to check availability.
The Convergent Series, Ballantine, 1979.
In the introduction to this volume of some of Larry's older works, he mentions that the anthology The Shape of Space
is now very difficult to find, having been out of print for many years. Many of the stories originally published in that collection can also
be found in this book, and they are well worth a read. There are no real Known Space stories in the collection, and in fact the settings
and styles are very diverse, but the overall readability is excellent and this collection is highly recommended.
This collection is currently out of print but is usually available used from amazon.com.

Crashlander
A collection of all the Beowulf Shaeffer stories including background later stories, including Ringworld.
This is an excellent book and highly recommended. All but two of the stories have appeared previously in
Neutron Star.
This book also contains new material which connects the five older stories into a more consistent
narrative. The new story, Procrustes (previously published only in the comparatively rare Bridging the
Galaxies) contains the ultimate use of the ultimate autodoc!
The Draco Tavern,
Tor, 2006
Sometime after humanities' first contact with an advanced alien race called the Chirpsithtra,
Rich Schumann opened a bar at Mount Forel Spaceport which served as a watering hole for wandering spacers and aliens alike.
Larry Niven has collected twenty seven stories set in the universe of the Draco Tavern, in this great collection, including six
new stories. This volume is a must. Highly recommended.
Flatlander,
Del Rey, June 1995
This book brings together the four Gil Hamilton stories previously
published separately.
This is a great collection - SF detective stories at their best.
The Flight of the Horse,
Ballantine, June 1971. (#64).
This collection contains Flash Crowd,
a teleportation story with links to a current phenomena,
the Flash Mob.
This story explores the problems encountered by society with the advent of cheap and widespread teleportation used
for public transport. The other stories are all concerned with Niven'sunique perspective on time travel, except
for the last story which is set in the same fantasy setting as The Magic
Goes Away.
This collection also serves as a backdrop for Rainbow
Mars and in some editions of Rainbow Mars the stories listed on the right are included as a bonus, which is just as well because
the original collection is out of print.
This collection is currently out of print but is usually available used from www.amazon.com.
Hole in Space, A Ballantine, 1974.
