No Boundaries (1955) - a rare collection of 2 stories and 3 novelets by Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore. Henry Kuttner is one of the most able and versatile writers of short fiction. Since his marriage in 1940 to C. L. Moore, almost anything they wrote after that had some element of collaboration, particularly when using pseudonyms.

Vintage Season
The Devil We Know
Home There's No Returning
Exit the Professor
Two-Handed Engine

Original appearances from 1941 to 1955 - in Astounding, Thrilling Wonder Stories, and Magazine of F&SF. This is the only American appearance of this book (it was reprinted in Britain in 1961.)

Notes: "Vintage Season" first appeared under a pseudonym they shared but is usually considered to be a C.L. Moore story, "The Devil We Know" and "Exit the Professor" appeared as by Kuttner only, and the last novelet had a shared byline. "Exit the Professor" was first collected in the rare A Gnome There Was in 1950; for the rest, this is their first appearance in an Kuttner collection. Not only is "Home There's No Returning" original to this collection - it doesn't appear in any other Kuttner collection. The first 2 stories can be found only in British collections by Kuttner.
