UK,12mo paperback Original,p/b 1st edn.[Paperback original denotes the first format and its first appearance in print of the book/title. Paperbacks usually follow on from the HB edn,but can be published at the same time as the HB edn,but p/back originals are published prior to any other format.] FINE-.(Graded thus purely because of the ageing/toning of book's edges.) No owner inscrptn and no price removal from cover.Bright,crisp,clean,sharp-cornered, glossy colour pictorial artwork by Chris Foss,illustrated front cover with brown,blue and black lettering; white spine with brown+blue letters and reading creases,rear cover with white background and red+black publisher's blurb; with negligible shelf-wear,bumping.creasing - no nicks or tears present - and minor superficial scoring to either cover.All edges aged/toned and with minimal but sporadic foxing/spotting; contents bright,tight,clean with very minimal foxing,solid and sound - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corners - carefully read.UK,12mo paperback Original,p/b 1st edn,10-349pp [paginated] includes author's introduction,original versions of the first two listed novels and two versions (the first version and then the published version) of 'Belief',a Final Word; plus [unpaginated] a potted biog of Asimov,title page,a dedication,contents list/table and at rear,2pp publisher's advert of Asimov's other fiction titles.
The original unpublished versions of 'Pebble In The Sky', 'The End Of Eternity' and 'Belief'.The first printing of this publisher's 1987 edition:- 'Grow Old Along With Me' (the original version of the novel 'Pebble In The Sky') / 'The End Of Eternity' (original version) / 'Belief' (first version) / 'Belief' (published version).
The stories that were too astounding for 'Astounding'. 'Pebble In The Sky' and 'The End Of Eternity' are among the best known of Isaac Asimov's early novels.But what most readers won't know is that both were originally written for - and rejected by - the famous pulp SF magazines of the 1940s and 1950s.Along with Dr Asimov's fascinating commentary on the revisions and on his working relationships with legendary SF editors John Campbell and Horace Gold,'The Alternate Asimovs' offers the rare and delightful treat of watching a master of imagination in his workshop.
