Sign of the Unicor(n) by Zelazny

Hmmm ... Can you check your author numbers? I had been focusing on VanVoght and just counted 10 for him not 3 I think some of the other author numbers are low. When I added them all together, they account for only 145 posts, but there are 339 books.

Sadly I no longer have any books that start with N that I can use <sigh>

This could be interesting to follow.
