Chandler who? Bertram?
And I would not say that Heinlein and Poul Anderson is unappreciated.

Parse the sentence again.
Note the comma.
And Flint isn't the only one liking Schmitz.
Even if he hadn't written anything beyond WITCHES OF KARRES, he'd still be a must read for any student of the genre. But what he did with the Hub, *when* he did it, is remarkable.
Way ahead of his time.

As for Chandler:

I cut my teeth on the DAW editions of both.
Another author I really like from that general era is F.M. Busby. The RISSA KERGUELEN saga, the DEMU TRILOGY, ALL THESE EARTHS... Wouldn't surprise me to see BAEN pick up his books. He's their kind of author.
