Indeed. As in Clarke & Lee?My least favorite collaborations are those by Big Name Author and Little Guy where Little Guy does all the work and Big Name sells all the books by having his Big Name on the cover, and similar artifacts of marketing.
Niven and Pournelle hit several homeruns
Indeed. As in Clarke & Lee?
My least favorite collaborations are those by Big Name Author and Little Guy where Little Guy does all the work and Big Name sells all the books by having his Big Name on the cover, and similar artifacts of marketing. (It doesn't really have anything to do with the relative prominence of the author - there are plenty of Big Name+Big Name "collaborations" and, on the other hand, some Big/Little collabs are genuine. But that's the most usual kind of fake collab.)
i.e., anything with Newt Gingrich's name on it.
