Oh! I will have to write to Richard. Thanks for posting this.
Wow. What a body of work.
Those anthologies with Dikty were a huge part of my youth.
And even though it's from EFB's own FaceBook page, it's missing many of his major works, such as THE GERNSBACK YEARS.
Don't forget his vitally important Sciene-Fiction: The Early Years and Science-Fiction: The Gernsback Years.
My own appreciation is here:

I have a number of Bleiler's collections. He was the unsung hero of SF.
And beyond sf, George.
Lawrence, I haven't forgotten them...but for some reason, whoever (EF himself?) put up that biblio on FaceBook left them off (it was Heavy Early after a bad, doggerel-inducing day that I posted this note). Thanks for the link.
