Emperor of Dreams: A Clark Ashton Smith Bibliography is a 1978 bibliography of Clark Ashton Smith by Donald Sidney-Fryer. Literary critic S. T. Joshi called it "a towering work of research," and Ashton Smith scholars David E. Schultz and Scott Connors considered Emperor of Dreams "The foundation upon which all Smith scholarship rests."[1]
According to Sidney-Fryer's autobiography Hobgoblin Apollo, he began serious research for this bibliography in 1960-1961. He completed the book's typescript in 1965.[2]
Sidney-Fryer found a publisher willing to publish his book in the "mid-1960s", but the publisher took more than ten years to bring it out.[3] Emperor of Dreams was first published by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. in 1978 in an edition of 1,375 copies.
