Certain works by Poul Anderson could be repackaged and republished as follows:
A Multiversal Trilogy With A Two-Part Appendix
I. Three Hearts And Three Lions, the Carolingian universe.
II. Operation Otherworld, the goetic universe.
III. A Midsummer Tempest, the Shakespearean universe and an inter-universal meeting between inhabitants of the three universes.
Appendix: two short stories set in the inter-universal meeting place.
This sequence is comparable to Anderson's future histories and Time Patrol series and to the Andersons' King Of Ys Tetralogy.

Kaor, Paul!
I like that idea of how to arrange stories connected by the Old Phoenix. And THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS should include the prefatory comments given to a 2 chapter excerpt from that novel in GOING FOR INFINITY in a COMPLETE COLLECTED WORKS OF POUL ANDERSON. Then a volume collecting the two OPERATION books. Next A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST with the two Old Phoenix stories as an appendix.
Ad astra! Sean
