    Zero for four.

    Of course, there is Heinlein's time travel story, "All You Zombies".

    And his stories "The Door Into Summer" and

    "By His Bootstraps" (which I do not recall ever reading).

    At one point in high school I thought I'd read everything by Heinlein.

    But then in the school library I stumbled across one of the very first hardbound (and it was indeed well bound) SF hardbacks - a volume twenty
    years older than the school itself.

    Among many other great stories it contained "By His Bootstraps" which
    was not in any of the various Heinlein collections I had.

    It is impossible to convey how exciting this was. Secondly because it
    was an unknown Heinlein, but mainly because it was a fantastic story.

    Which is a roundabout way of saying, "read it, you'll like it".

    It was one of my few Heinlein favourites, almost as good as Zombies.

    It's not very long but it is fun. Also thought-provoking if you have
    that sort of a mind. :)

    That is strange. According to the external link list on the WikiP
    page it's been collected in loads of collections.

    https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?46440

    I think that I have a few of those. :)

    Cool. Thank you for that one. It's out of print as of 2026, and I
    don't easily see it in e-form but I'll keep it in The List for
    searching every so often.

    According to the Wicked P, there's some very good stuff in this one.

    That's the one. Came out in 1946. I knew the name but had never seen a
