Red Tide January, 2014 Flash Crowd/Teleportation Collection This anthology, part of the Stellar Guild series (edited by Mike Resnick), includes three new stories and an expanded version of the Niven classic Flash Crowd Red Tide Dial At Random
90 Down in Flames January, 1969 Known Space Non-Fiction Read It Here! Destruction of Known Space, inspired by a conversation with Norman Spinrad. Never written beyond the outline phase.  Niven started writing Ringworld shortly after instead. Though this saw print in 1969, it appears much further down the list in Niven's published bibliographies.
38 Exercise in Speculation: The Theory and Practice of Teleportation March, 1969 Non-Fiction Discussion of teleportation as personal transportation and even as an interstellar drive.
41 Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex December, 1969 N/A Non-Fiction Read It Here! Entertaining speculation on Superman's sex life on Earth, including a discussion of how to preserve the Kryptonian race. Often quoted, but almost never illustrated, thanks to DC Comics' legal department.
62 Recipes January, 1973 N/A Non-Fiction From Amazon.com: "Anne McCaffrey's cookbook, featuring real (you can cook them) recipes created by science fiction and fantasy writers such as Harlan Ellison, Ursula K. Le Guin, Avram Davidson and of course Anne McCaffrey herself. Mixed in with the recipes are stories and anecdotes about how they were created - some longer than the recipes!" This classic from 1973 was revised and re-released by Wildside Press in 1992. The included Niven recipes (irish coffee and others) seem to be intended for a bartender rather than a chef, but then that's the role Niven often finds himself performing at conventions.
