Okay: here's a short version of an Ellison bibliography to help with those interested, or to help those who are familiar with some things and not others to place them in his career. I think I've covered just about everything, but I may have missed something. I've kept it to books, though there have been CDs, comics, screenplays, etc. galore. If I've missed anything that anyone is aware of and thinks might be helpful, please add. Thanks.
