"Why pick one thing and drape a little iron curtain around it?"
Robert Williams began selling science fiction in 1937 as Robert Moore with "Zero As a Limit" to Astounding. He was able to make a modest but consistent living at this for the next three decades. Robert's total SF output was in the area of 150 plus stories and novels.
Williams was a meticulous records keeper and maintained a complete file of his works, submissions, sales, galleys, manuscript s, and books. He stored those boxes in closets, the basement, and the attic until one day when he loaded it all up (several trips, many boxes) and drove to CSUF (Cal State University, Fullerton) where he deposited his entire holdings into Fullerton Library's Special Collection of Science Fiction. This record is one of the few complete runs of an author's work spanning several decades.
