I’m not sure why the Chanur books were arranged as they were, at least when my old paperbacks were printed. The first 3 are in an Omnibus edition, but they aren’t a stand alone trilogy, the 4th continues the story from the 3rd.

You could read the Pride of Chanur as a stand alone novel, but if you get into the 2nd you have to read through Homecoming to reach the end of that story arc. Legacy also stands apart – while it refers back to characters and events in the other books, you might still be able to read it and enjoy the story without having read them.
