About This Item
West Bloomfield, MI: Phantasia Press, 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The first book in which Asimov begins to link his Robot and Foundation series. This is one of 750 signed and numbered copies of the limited first edition. Color frontispiece and dust jacket art by Paul Lehr.
Asimov, the author of hundreds of books, found huge commercial success when he returned to the science fiction series he wrote in the 1950s. Several publishers put out signed, limited editions of those books, most of which were, to be frank, pretty ugly (e.g., Foundation and Earth). The ones put out by Phantasia, like this version of Robots and Empire, are a definite exception to that trend.
[10], 349, [1] pages plus the limitation sheet. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket in a near fine and lightly scuffed slipcase. This is no. 475 of 650 signed by Asimov.
