I have argued before that there should be a boxed set of uniform editions of:
Three Hearts And Three Lions
Operation Otherworld (in either one or two volumes)
A Midsummer Tempest
The Old Phoenix and other universes (a proposed title and collection)
Contents Of The Proposed Collection
"The House of Sorrows" (an alternative universe)
"Eutopia" (travel between alternative universes)
"House Rule" (the inn between the universes)
"Losers' Night" (again the inn but this time referring to characters from the previous three (or four) volumes - see Disappearance - and ending with Winston Churchill!
It is all there.

Kaor, Paul!
I would prefer to do it like this:
OPERATION CHAOS and OPERATION LUNA in one volume.
THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS plus A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST in the second volume.
A third volume collects "The House of Sorrows," "Eutopia," "House Rule," and "Losers' Night." Including, possibly, Anderson's essay "The Discovery of the Past." But will only five items be enough for a volume?

They would.
Kaor, Paul!
I hope some editors and publishers will agree.
And why the Tarnation isn't whoever manages Poul Anderson's estate trying harder to keep his works in print??? I still see too many of Asimov's overrated stuff whenever I go to Barnes & Noble--and nothing by Anderson!

Note that the Churchillian appearance is from the mid to late 1930's, when Churchill was a voice crying in the wilderness -- but later on, he was PM during WW2.
Very true. Churchill was a "Loser" at the time.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
It was largely because of the Gallipoli disaster that Churchill came so near to being completely discredited in UK politics. If he had not been able to become PM in 1940, then Hitler might very well had gotten that deal he needed to get a free hand conquering Europe.
The UK desperately needs another similarly great PM! More and more the news I'm seeing from there tells me folly and catastrophic policies is driving it to utter ruin!
Ad astra! Sean
