It was the most eminent of the fan publishers of sf, and produced more than 50 books, surviving into the early 1960s. It published many of the major sf authors, and in some cases, as with Robert E. HOWARD's Conan series (published in 6 books 1950-55) and Isaac ASIMOV's Foundation series (published in 3 books 1951-3), was responsible for the manner in whichtheir stories were collected into book form. Other authors included Arthur C. CLARKE, Robert A. HEINLEIN and C.L. MOORE. An associated imprint wasGreenberg: Publisher, and in 1958 GP bought out the stock of FANTASY PRESS.
