Zelazny, one of THE writers of Sci-fi, in my opinion, knew how to turn out great stories, yet his books never reached the gigantic proportion that books nowadays get. Gemmell, always great (again, IMHO), usually wrote standalones. Even his books that were part of a series could be read at any order. Yet these days I see a good book, turn the cover, and yes, it is the first part of a ten books series. And the book itself is a massive thing that I can't comfortably hold in one hand while reading...
