from the AAVSO Archives... Smart, but Clueless

25 August 1960

The American Association of Variable
Star Observers
4 Brattle Street
Cambridge, 38, Mass.

Gentlemen,

I am naturally pleased at the review of THE REALM OF NUMBERS in the July 1960 number. It embarasses me to have to ask about your organization, however. Is the title to be taken literally or does it cover a more purely social group?

Yours,
Isaac Asimov

Ed. note: Isaac Asimov, the world-renowned science fiction writer and science promoter, never did join the AAVSO.
