Notes
- From the series record (Thieves' World anthologies): Shared-world anthologies set in the fictional city of Sanctuary, created by Robert Lynn Asprin with Lynn Abbey as co-editor; contributors across the series included Poul Anderson, C.J. Cherryh, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Andrew J. Offutt and others. Ten further original-run volumes (1982-1989) and a later 2002-onward relaunch exist but are not individually catalogued.
