Wow, thank you! I had noted the two Cordwainer Smith books at Baen and they were part of my Baen purchasing plans but I did not recognize the titles and assumed they were small short story collections.
I've owned Norstrilia and The Rediscovery of Man several times and given away them to friends several times and was hoping to rediscover them as ebooks eventually. I checked the TOC of both the Baen books and you are correct, these do appear to contain all the Science Fiction works of C. S. They even include both versions of War No. 81-Q! Although they do not contain the original versions of The Planet Buyer and The Underpeople which were eventually combined to make Norstrilia. The introductions by Robert Silverberg and Frederik Pohl, respectively, are a delight to read too.
For anyone who enjoys Sci Fi and has not read any Cordwainer Smith, you are in for the treat of your life!
