I don't believe an official list has been published. Perhaps it will show up
in the third volume of his autobiography. As you stated, Asimov had his own
way of counting. He would count books he spent considerable time in producing,
even if he only edited them. But considering how many of his later books were
ones he only edited, I wonder if that was part of the reason he never
published an Opus 400.

For what it is worth, here is a list of some books he published after 300, and
the way he numbered them (I wrote to him with a list of titles and got the
numberings in reply).

I also have a complete (to the limits of what I have been able to find)
bibliography, which lists both hardback and paperback editions, together
with publisher, publishing date, ISBN #, Library of Congress call numbers,
etc. It is 132-column ASCII text, and runs about 157K. If anyone wants a copy,
let me know.
