Isaac Asimov: The Caves of Steel
<B>Isaac Asimov: <I>The Caves of Steel</B></I>.</B></I> (Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1954), first edition, 224 pages, blue cloth with red lettering on spine, 8vo (5.75" x 8.5"), dust jacket (in protective Mylar). Deckled fore-edge. Jacket illustration by Ruth Ray. First serialized in <I>Galaxy</B></I> magazine in 1953, <I>The Caves of Steel</B></I> is the first novel in Asimov's Robot series, which contextualized the robot in modern science fiction. The copy presented here is in very good condition, with some age-toning to the edges and endpapers. The jacket shows minor edge wear, and some sunning to the spine. Still, this novel is an essential piece of Asimov's milieu, and a fine addition to any science fiction library. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
