And yes > they do get it wrong: No, no he's just working on US Pulp Magazines. All pulp writers have traditional names. He's not going to have any trouble. Except, of course, with Daniel Keys Moran. Who doesn't use his first name except when writing. And Marion Zimmer Bradley, whose name should be sorted under 'Z'. Though, of course, Edgar Rice Burroughs should be sorted under 'B'. And Margaret St. Clair whose name is correctly pronounced and sorted as if it was Margaret Sinclair. And Lester del Rey. Whose name should be sorted under 'd' (his wife was Judy-Lynn del Rey). And who normally claimed (falsely) that his name was Ramon Felipe San Juan Mario Silvio Enrico Smith Heartcourt-Brace Sierra y Alvarez del Rey y de los Uerdes. Of course, the author Eando Binder was actually two people (Edward and Oscar Binder) but that doesn't count.
