PS: Also that ‘Cordwainer’ is an archaic word for ‘shoemaker’.

“The New York Review of Bird” was a tale about an author named Cordwainer Bird, and many of his fellow SF authors have mentioned Bird in stories they have written. The first name came from another author’s pseudonym, Cordwainer Smith, who was legendary in his own way. ( The instrumentality of Mankind series was the first seminal work of fiction about furries that I can recall. )
