Sub-Series Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

This sub-series contains the literary works of Robert L. Forward that were selected for binding in book form by Dr. Forward. The volumes are comprised of draft versions of Forward's science-fiction and non-fiction writings. The bulk of the manuscripts are heavily copyedited by Dr. Forward and/or publishing staff. Many manuscripts are also autographed by Forward and, occasionally, co-authors. All copyedits and autographs were made by Dr. Forward unless otherwise noted. Bylines are provided exclusively for co-authored works, works by other authors, and works citing more than one creative role.

Dr. Forward frequently inscribed his manuscripts with brief, contextual descriptions regarding the publication or revision of the work in hand. For those items containing such annotations, pertinent information is transcribed in a supplementary note.

"This was the next to the last draft of the revised version of Rocheworld, see page ii for its genesis. After this draft was corrected (in the period from 17-23 September 1989) the corrections were made in the electronic version and the "final" draft printed. The final draft will be copyedited and pages retyped to get a nearly error proof final draft."
