(If you enjoy the series, I'd get the available LU Companion Vol. II now while it is both available and affordable - Vol. I is out-of-print and costs in the hundreds now.)

The two Liaden Universe Companion books are available as eBooks from Baen. Individually, or the two together as "
Liaden Universe Big Bang" for $10. Well worth the $$.

There's also another omnibus called 'The Agent Gambit' that has books 4 & 5 (going off Xanthe's reading order) and yet another omnibus called 'Korval's Game' with books 6 & 7. It would be nice if the Webscription site was a little clearer on that. Guess I should have known better since they do the same thing with some of the Vorkosigan books (omnibus & single's both sold).

The Crystal Variation (Crystal Soldier, Crystal Dragon, and Balance of Trade) will be out from Baen in September as another omnibus edition. (
