  1. If you want to see a large amount of science fiction and fantasy short fiction I would recommend:

    1. Hitting an old used bookstore and getting a ton of Andre Norton.
    2. Look up what was in old Ace Double novels.
    3. The Mars, Peculliar, Venus, and some independent novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
    4. Wildside Press’s Megapack series which join a lot of old sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery short stories and short novels in inexpensive packs.

    To add some specific titles:

    Deathworld (and its sequels) and The Stainless Steel Rat (and its sequels) by Harry Harrison

    The Lost Race (one of my finds in the past two weeks), Web of the Witch World (in fact, most of the early WW novels but this is the thinnest on my shelf), and Star Man’s Son by Andre Norton

    Lone Star Planet, Space Viking, and Uller Uprising by H. Beam Piper
