The files linked below are the end result of a project I have been working on at intervals since July 2017, with the object of compiling as complete an account as possible of the works of Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), in time for what would have been his one-hundredth birthday: January 2, 2020. It gives me great pleasure to be able to release the completed Bibliography with a handful of days to spare!
NOTE: Since the Bibliography was originally released on December 29, 2019, Ed Seiler, creator of the Asimov Online website, has generously shared with me the results of his own researches into the dating of Asimov's stories. This information, derived from the index card records kept by Asimov himself, provides a huge amount of precise chronological data that is available nowhere else. I have reordered the items in Part I (the catalogue of Asimov's fiction) based on this information, and I gratefully acknowledge Ed's help in improving this section of the Bibliography so that it is as accurate as possible.
Latest Update (March 1, 2020): Some minor changes and additions have now been made to the Bibliography; see here for full details.
