Eric,
My favorite was published outside your timeframe - over 30 years ago - but I
offer it as a lovely, funny book: The Witches of Karres, by James H.
Schmitz. It must be loved by many, because every time it's reissued, stores
sell out of it within days. If you've never read it, Enjoy!
His other books are interesting, but he never again (apparently) thought to
write a light space opera comedy.
