About this Item

Stated First Edition, First Printing Beautiful fine/near fine book with a scarce original stunning near fine dust jacket. Only 5,000 copies of the first edition were printed of this iconic title in which Asimov?s ?Three Laws of Robotics? were postulated for the first time. Signed by Isaac Asimov on a laid-in signature. The book is in beautiful fine/near fine condition with crisp red boards, with a black robot emblem to front, and black titles to spine. The boards are clean, a vibrant red and still maintain their original sheen. The book has sharp corners and no edgewear. Just a tiny spot of rubbing to spine. The end papers are clean with No owner names, No bookplates and No bookstore stamps. The internal pages are clean, bright and flat with No marks, No stains, No writing, No handling marks, and No foxing. Internally appearing as unread! Signed by Isaac Asimov on a laid-in signature. A beautiful fine/near fine example of this landmark title! The original first edition dust jacket has benefited from slight restoration to the outer spine tips and one small intact tear to lower edge, and as such presents as a fine/near fine example. The jacket is bright with highly vibrant colors, and but only the very slightest hint of fading to the spine (the spine of this jacket is usually found faded completely to a grey tone). The stunning dust jacket has No rips, No chips, No stains, No rubbing and No foxing. The rear panel is unusually bright for this title. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of $2.50. Please see detailed images. Stunning, handsome jacket presenting the book beautifully on the shelf. A very handsome example of this scarce, classic title in beautiful collectible condition with a vibrant book and stunning dust jacket. ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our ABE store for other landmark SciFi titles.

Store Description

We buy and sell rare books and support our customers with expert advice and first class service. We focus primarily on the James Bond series, Science Fiction, Rare Children�s books, and select other rare books. Because of our specialization, we have developed a deep expertise in these categories and are able to offer a good selection of authors and titles across the quality and price spectrum. To be able to offer rare books of extraordinary quality, we have cultivated relationships with several premier conservators, who restore and conserve books on behalf of museums and private collectors. Our approach has lead to satisfied customers who have become repeat buyers, many of whom have built attractive collections as alternative investments. Our commitment to customers is backed by our return policy, which is simple: if you are not happy with your purchase, you may return the book for a full refund.
