It was published by Houghton Mifflin in March 1979. Asimov chose to celebrate the publication of his two hundredth book by writing about his previous 198 books, including excerpts from short stories and novels, as well as nonfiction articles and books. ''Opus 200'' also includes three complete science fiction stories, two complete mystery stories and two complete essays.

During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. A prolific writer, he wrote or edited more than 500 books. He also wrote an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mystery fiction, mysteries and fantasy, as well as much nonfiction. Asimov's most famous work is the ''Foundation series, Foundation'' series, the first three books of which won the one-time Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966. His other major series are the ''Galactic Empire series, Galactic Empire'' series and the ''Robot series, Robot'' series. The ''Galactic Empire'' novels are set in the much earlier history of the same fictional universe as the ''Foundation'' series.

The numerous maps were drafted by the artist Rafael Palacios. Structure The work gives a short guide to every Shakespeare play, as well as two epic poems. Asimov organizes the plays not in the usual way – as tragedies, comedies, and histories – but regionally, as follows: * Greek * Roman * Italian * English The last two categories are treated broadly; 'Italian' applies to neighbouring countries, and both ''Hamlet'' and ''Macbeth'' are listed with 'The English Plays'. Asimov gives a detailed justification for doing this. Within each category, the plays are arranged according to internal (historical) chronology, making allowance for the several not based on actual events. Asimov notes how much is real history, and describes who the historical people were, where applicable. He traces those characters who appear in more than one play, ... <a href="/html/ALL/s/A/Asimov's_Guide_To_Shakespeare.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> <br>[...More Info...] &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp <a href="/html/ALL/l/A/Asimov's_Guide_To_Shakespeare.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> [...Related Items...] &nbsp &nbsp <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimov's_Guide_To_Shakespeare" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"><b> OR:</b> &nbsp &nbsp [Wikipedia] &nbsp </a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Asimov's_Guide_To_Shakespeare" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Google] &nbsp </a>    <a href="https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Asimov's_Guide_To_Shakespeare" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Baidu] &nbsp </a>  </div> <br></a></a> <br> </div> </td> </tr> <tr; > <td width="15%"><p> <a href="/html/ALL/s/B/Books_By_Isaac_Asimov.html" title="Click for more on -> Books By Isaac Asimov"> <center><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/BD_Hunefer.jpg" title="Click for more on -> Books By Isaac Asimov" width="100%;" height="auto;"><center></a> <a href = "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BD_Hunefer.jpg" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none; color:#d0d0d0;">picture info</a> </p> </td> <td valign="top"; width="75%"; > <div style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:9%";>  <div style="margin-left:2%";> <big><big><b><a href="/html/ALL/s/B/Books_By_Isaac_Asimov.html" style="text-decoration:none;">Books By Isaac Asimov</a></b></big></big><br> A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is ''codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained.

It also includes "Big Game (short story), Big Game", a short story written by Asimov in 1941 and never sold. The anthology was first published in April 1974, and won the 1975 Locus Award for Best reprint anthology. The anthology was inspired by a dream Asimov had on the morning of 3 April 1973. In his dream, Asimov had prepared an anthology of his favorite science fiction stories from the 1930s and was delighted to get a chance to read them again. After waking, he told his fiancée Janet Asimov, Janet Jeppson about the dream, and she suggested that he actually do such an anthology. Doubleday agreed to publish the anthology, and Asimov's friend Sam Moskowitz provided him with copies of the relevant science fiction magazines. Asimov completed work on the anthology on 10 May.

While attending a convention of the American Booksellers Association, Just discovers the dead body of a friend and protégé. Convinced that the death was due to murder, but unable to convince the police, Just decides to investigate on his own. The book is an example of metafiction, as Asimov himself appears as a character doing research for a murder mystery set at a booksellers' convention. In 1979 Asimov described ''Murder at the ABA'' as "my favourite book of all two hundred I have written so far." ''Murder at the ABA'' was published as ''Authorised Murder'' in the United Kingdom. Origins Asimov recounts the unusual history behind ''Murder at the ABA'' in his second autobiographical volume, '' In Joy Still Felt'' (1980).

It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

It is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star. Computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in ''the A* search algorithm'' or '' C*-algebra''). In English, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten. Its most common use is to call out a footnote. It is also often used to censor offensive words. In computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication. History The asterisk has already been used as a symbol in ice age cave paintings. There is also a two thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the , , which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.
