BTW, the author's real name was Joseph Lawrence Greene. It had been a mystery to me for most of my life. Then, one day, years ago, I was chatting with Tom Doherty of Tor, and I asked him--because he'd worked at Grosset & Dunlap much earlier in his career. He scratched his head for a minute or two, and finally said, "Wasn't it Joe Greene? Yeah, it was Joe Greene." Eventually the background got filled in, and now you can read all about it on Wikipedia.
