According to my research (by which I mean, according to the god of Wikipedia) The Sirens of Titan was published in 1959.

Am of two minds as to add Telzey Amberdon - the stories are all from the 60s, but the specific publication form is later, I think.

Especially since they were originally printed in one of my favorite old school sci-fi magazines - Analog!
Removed Flowers for Algernon & A Canticle for Leibowitz for being published in the 50s, and Tau Zero, Cities in Flight, Tower of Glass, The Sheep Look Up, Juniper Time, Frankenstein Unbound, & A Time of Changes for being published in the 70s. Left Retief! alone, but it technically doesn't fit the criteria.
Sophie wrote: "Removed Flowers for Algernon & A Canticle for Leibowitz for being published in the 50s, and Tau Zero, Cities in Flight, Tower of Glass, The Sheep Look Up, Juniper Time, Frankenstein Unbound, & A Ti..."I started the list and was wondering how to remove books. Is it possible to do that if I'm not a Goodreads Librarian ?
'Galactic Diplomat' would be a better fit than 'Retief'. 'Retief' does include some early stories from the 60's, but it's really a selection that spans the length of Laumer's Retief series.
I'm going to sound crazy, but I'm a stickler for following my own made up rules, so since I'm not a huge fan of that series, I'm not going to add it in. I can see why it would be a good one to add in though. So anyone else who likes that series can go ahead. Nothing against Laumer, I do like a lot of his other work.
