Lensman -- In "The Epic of Space," Dr. Smith reveals that the core books of the Lensman series, Galactic Patrol, Gray Lensman, Second Stage Lensman, and Children of the Lens, were conceived as a unified whole. Some recommend reading the books in this order, followed by the revised Triplanetary, First Lensman, and The Vortex Blaster. The original versions of the core books are not consistent with the original version of Triplanetary; the connections between them are later interpolations.
- Triplanetary (Amazing Stories Jan–Apr 1934, Fantasy Press 1948) -- The magazine version of Triplanetary was not part of the original Lensman series. For the book versions, passages were interpolated into the original Triplanetary, and earlier, pre-space-flight sections were added, forming the first third of the book. Some passages were added to or removed from the core books, to make them consistent with the new version of Triplanetary.

- Children of the Lens (Astounding Stories Nov 1947–Feb 1948, Fantasy Press 1954)
- The Vortex Blaster, also known as Masters of the Vortex (Comet (magazine) July 1941, Astonishing Stories Jun & Oct 1942, Gnome Press 1960)
- The Skylark of Space (written 1915–1920 with Mrs. Lee Hawkins Garby, Amazing Stories Aug–Oct 1928, Buffalo Book Co. 1946. Paperback edition, heavily revised and without the co-author credit, Pyramid Books 1958)
- Skylark Three (Amazing Stories Aug–Oct 1930, Fantasy Press 1948)
- Skylark of Valeron (Astounding Stories Aug 1934–Feb 1935, Fantasy Press 1949)
