Robert A. Heinlein - The Dean of Science Fiction

This is NOT a market place. I just happen to like Robert's writings very very much and want to give some information if somebody needs it. All of these books can be found in my bookshelf. Some in swedish, my native language, but mostly in english. So if you want a book from my list, try , or take the ISBN, go down to your local book store and pray it still is on their list.

All the ISBN:s should be correct, but my versions of "Life-Line", "Ordeal in Space" and "Misfit" came to me without ISBN, but because my software needs the ISBN to let me put the book in my system, I looked up the ISBN:s in an old American book catalog.

Don't pay too much attention to the year printed because it may either be when the book was printed first time or when my particular copy is printed or copyrighted

I am probably breaking copyright laws making this page, but I hope, with all my heart, for understanding. I am not getting any profit from this page. And if somebody still feels hard done by it, please e-mail me and I'll remove it.

One upwardly-mobile peasant wasn't satisfied with the riddling rhymes of the Witnesses or the cynical pragmatism of his peers.

0-87654-473-1	The Notebooks of Lazarus Long	Lazarus Long is the unique and fascinating protagonist who appears in Heinlein's masterful science fiction series of "future history" novels (Methuselah's Children, The Past through tomorrow, Orphans in the sky, Time Enough for Love).
