FOUNDATION & EMPIRE and SECOND FOUNDATION have bumps at the upper rear fore edge corner tips. This work awarded the HUGO for the best all time series. (Editorial note: We would love to say that our dust-wrapper for FOUNDATION is the rare issue with the main character throughout the series name misspelled on the front dust-wrapper flap, but ironically, this major typo (Hari Sheldon for Hari Seldon) exists on all first printing dust-wrappers and was not caught until the second printing of this volume. To make matters even a bit more bizarre, the misspelled name also exists on the rear flap of FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE). Signed postcard by Asimov laid in.
