Who was that?
Until at least the mid-1970s, there were still some libraries that insisted on cataloging authors under their real names, with cross references under their pseudonyms. [There were reasons for this, so don't roll your eyes.]
If you grew up with this system, you can probably reel off real names of popular authors and amaze your younger friends while playing trivia games in bars. However, if you can't do that, here's a comprehensive list of pseudonyms (click on Pseudonyms with the range of letters you're after) to help you out.
