In the 1990s, an increasing proportion of Greenberg's titles appeared with his name missing from the title page; usually, but not always, he would be listed on the copyright page. The reason for this modesty may have been a market response to readers' sense that Greenberg had saturated the Anthology market. The listing above should be treated as a selection only. Greenberg also edited numerous fantasy anthologies with Isaac Asimov. [JC]
