Beschreibung

"Book Club Edition" stated to jacket front flap. Rear flap coded "1932." Original 1951, 1952, and 1953 copyrights are only dates showing, but it appears Doubleday kept this popular book-club edition in print for decades; print estimates range from 1962 to 1980 (though absence of both ISBN and bar code may argue for a date before 1970, here.) Alphanumeric code near gutter of final page of text might help, but none is visible, here -- only a short horizontal line. Dark blue titles to spine of white boards; we suspect the blue titles may postdate copies with red spine titling. This volume inscribed "to Merton," dated "18 Oct 84" and signed in blue ballpoint direct to first title page "Isaac Asimov." Jacket is "good-plus" with some wear to top of spine and a 3-1/2-inch diagonal crease to top of jacket rear panel, said crease (visible as two converging white lines) extending into the author's hair in portrait, there. The three novels paginated separately at 227, 227, and 225 pp., respectively. Classic science fiction by one of the 20th Century's grandmasters, here reduced from $1,675.
