Hello!
I disagree with him as well. Both of the first two Fuzzy stories have
been reprinted. I have here most of the ones in the TFH series (Terran
Federation History) that I would want to read, including some as ebook
format. But there's something not quite right regarding his writing,
but I do not know where.
