The Martian Way and Other Stories is a 1955 collection of four science fiction novellas previously published by Isaac Asimov in 1952 and 1954. Although single-author story collection generally sell poorly, "The Martian Way and Other Stories" did well enough that Doubleday science fiction editor Walter I. Bradbury was willing to publish a second collection, "Earth Is Room Enough", in 1957.
