Sources and Acknowledgments:
In the process of compiling this bibliography, as well as referring to my own collection of literature, a number of online sources were consulted, not the least of which were The Internet Speculative Fiction Database and Philip Stephensen-Payne's Galactic Central website, the latter a home to the Fictionmags Index and the various Locus Press indexes.

Addendum:
Please note that I have not included here in this bibliography the numerous ebook publications in chapbook format which contain individual stories by Talmage Powell. Details of these can be found on the Amazon website.
