WWW FAQ on Isaac Asimov. This is an extensive FAQ on Isaac Asimov. It
covers both his writing and his personal life. Contains pointers on
other stuff on Asimov on the net; bibliographies, some reviews and
miscellanous items. A ASCII-based FAQ is also posted monthly on the
newsgroup alt.books.isaac-asimov.
BTW, a pointer to this FAQ is included in the SF Resource Guide so you
need not include this in your intro. The reason I'm putting this here
is because I worked on the FAQ...};-)
