Well, "Del Rey" was the imprint that Ballantine Books sold Sci-Fi/Fantasy
under starting in 1977 (this included Star Wars, as I recall). It looks
like it now belongs to Random House. From their website (couldn't totally
remember the Ballantine name so had to look it up), "It was begun by
editor Judy-Lynn del Rey with editoria assistance of her husband, author and
editor Lester del Rey". Are they the same person?
