Robert A. Heinlein : A Reader's Companion
J. Daniel Gifford
This book is a serious attempt at an academic reference (with Opus numbers and all that) but anyone who really loves Heinlein's work should have it. I read it from cover to cover and enjoyed it rather like a good story in itself but, admittedly, I have read almost every available piece of Heinlein's writing. There was new information even for me on a few of the never-reprinted stories, on his non-fiction and on the background of some of the works.
This book specifically takes a "no spoilers" approach, so no need to wait to get it until you have read them all.
Since the publication of "A Reader's Companion," the first volume of the sweeping Heinlein biography
Robert A. Heinlein: In Dialogue with His Century: Volume 1 (1907-1948): Learning Curve has been published and it answers a few of the questions posed in this book, and corrects a few minor errors and misapprehensions that Gifford had in 2000, but that is to be expected. If you like Robert Heinlein and his work, get both of them!
