A bibliography of Leiber's work is Fritz Leiber: A Bibliography 1934-1979 by Chris Morgan (Birmingham, UK: Morgenstern, 1979). It is fairly definitive as to the date of publication but Leiber's work badly needs an updated comprehensive bibliography.
Jeff Frane's critical study in the Starmont Reader's Guide series, Fritz Leiber (Mercer Island, WA: Starmont House, 1980) was the first full-length monograph on Leiber's life and work. Another booklength study, Fritz Leiber by Tom Staicar was published in 1983 (NY: Fredrick Ungar Publishing Co).
An important bio-critical study is Witches of the Mind by Bruce Byfield.
An essay examining Leiber's literary relationship with H. P. Lovecraft appears in S. T. Joshi's The Evolution of the Weird Tale (2004).

Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“When committees gather, each member is necessarily an actor, uncontrollably acting out the part of himself, reading the lines that identify him, asserting his identity.... We are designed, coded, it seems, to place the highest priority on being individuals, and we must do this first, at whatever cost, even if it means disability for the group.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
