Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Foundation and Foundation and Empire are of mixed publication. The text block was printed by Gnome Press, the original publisher of these books. Later, after Gnome's shuttering, they were bound by Doubleday. Isaac Asimov, at the time of signing these books (Aug 9…, 1976), relayed to the owner of the books that he had heard the remaining Gnome text blocks had been wrapped in Doubleday covers, but he had never seen the final result. Therefore, these are perhaps the only signed mixed-publication copies. Foundation and Foundation and Empire are later Gnome text blocks in first edition Doubleday dust jackets. Second Foundation is a later Doubleday edition. Inscribed by Isaac Asimov as, To Neil Sh - good wishes, Isaac Asimov 9 Aug 76. Hardcover. Foundation : 255 pages, Foundation and Empire : 247 pages, Second Foundation : x, 225 pages. Second Foundation : 8.5 x 5.75 inches, Foundation and Foundation and Empire : 8.25 x 5.75 inches. All of the books are tightly bound. Slight shelf wear along the head and tail of the boards on all the books; bumping to the spine-ends of Foundation and Empire ; minor damp stain to the top of the rear board of Foundation. Pages are yellowed in Foundation and Foundation and Empire, typical of Gnome books and their cheap production. Shelf wear to all the dust jackets with a tear to the back cover of Foundation. All the books are covered in protective Mylar. Inscribed by Author(s).

First Edition. *** THE FOUNDATION TRILOGY *** FOUNDATION, FOUNDATION & EMPIRE & SECOND FOUNDATION, Gnome Press, 1951, 1952 & 1953 respectively, first editions, (first state bindings and full color pictorial dust-wrappers), 3 volumes, all fine (once open the covers snap back) in like full color pictorial dust-wrappers with the sl…ightest of wear. 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.
