This review is from: Niven's Laws (Hardcover)

If you really really enjoy Niven, then get this book. There are perhaps 20 pages of previously unpublished work herein, yet they contain an interesting insight to who Larry Niven was, and how he thought. In one interesting short Larry proves that our sun has gone out. Stopped burning. And he sounds sincere, in his slightly sardonic way. As well as supported by observations of the Sun. In its own way, the book is unique. It is obviously a small printing, not unlike the binding on a Master's thesis. I am glad I went to the effort to obtain this book
