More on Gnome Press
Description from Wikipedia:
Gnome Press was an American small-press publishing company primarily known for publishing many science fiction classics. They were the first to publish Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, and brought Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian stories back from pulp obscurity. They also published many of Robert A. Heinlein's classics, and the beloved Children of the Atom by Wilmar Shiras, a novel that is considered to be one of the most influential SF books of the century. Noted science fiction writer Andre Norton worked as a reader for Gnome Press for "about three years in the Fifties" as she recalled later, and began writing the "Star Trader" series during her time with Gnome.
The company was founded in 1948 by Martin Greenberg and David A. Kyle. Many of Gnome's titles were reprinted in England by Boardman Books. Martin Greenberg of Gnome Press was a New York science fiction fan and member of the Hydra Club, not to be confused with the later Martin H. Greenberg the SF anthologist. David A. Kyle was another New York based science fiction fan, a Futurian as well as a member of the Hydra Club.
Gnome Press did not have much capital or access to distribution facilities. The company was notorious for not paying their writers royalties due. Asimov claimed he was never paid for the publication of the Foundation books, and called Greenberg "an outright crook".
Asimov and other authors were able eventually to repossess the rights to their publications, and the company failed during 1962.
