Biography
Martin Greenberg served in the US Army from 1942 to 1945, earning five battle stars. After World War II, he was part of the small press publisher New Collector's Group, founded by Paul Dennis O'Connor and Hannes Bok, but a disagreement over the direction of the business caused Greenberg to leave. In 1948, Greenberg and Kyle, a fellow member of The Hydra Club, founded Gnome Press, which is both famous and infamous as the first publisher of Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy as hardcover books. Greenberg edited seven anthologies for Gnome, but ultimately, the press failed in 1962. Disputes over payment caused Asimov to call Greenberg a crook, and to urge the other Martin Greenberg to always use his middle initial.
After the closure of Gnome, Greenberg went on to work as an editor for Abelard-Schuman. He dropped out of sf circles, and later ran an art supply store.
