ISAAC'S OUTPUT

ISAAC'S OUTPUT
   By the time of his death in 1992, Isaac Asimov had published more than 450 books. This amazing output included not only science fiction novels and stories, but also anthologies and children's books.While it took him 30 years to publish his first hundred books, the second hundred followedafter only a decade, and a third hundred came just five years later.As his career rocketed, Asimov began to write about science literature, histor y..and anything else that interested him. He was also a college professor and an intrepid public speaker.Many feel that Asimov became the voice of science fiction. At the very least, he communicated his enthusiasm and converted a growing mass audience to the joys and challenges of SF.
