I love Asimov (especially robot and Foundation) --- he was a polymath -- an excellent text book of physics, good stories (I Robot), legislator (prime directive), guide to the bible. But not really prolific, was he? Only 500+ book and 1600 essays. clark.net
He spent most of his life as a professor of biochemistry . He wrote in long-hand I think.

How about Jacob Abbott (I had shelves and shelves of books by him, whoever he was) 28 volumes of Rollo, 36 volumes of Harper's story books, hundreds of biographies and histories.
Voltaire was productive, and average quality was outstanding. Hugo was great and must have produced hundreds of volumes. Jefferson papers run to more than 100 volumes, mostly letters, only one book.
