Isaac Asimov story collection “Earth is Room Enough” [1961] 15 science fiction and fantasy stories and two pieces comic verse
Original price was: $21.50.$17.41Current price is: $17.41.
This is a "very good plus" vintage paperback with maroon tinting on all sides of the text block, 208 pages.
The binding is tight, closes flat. Seems like it's possible that it is an unread copy, as there are absolutely no reading creases to be found, front or back. Some light edge wear with minimal chipping along board edges and spine edges. To be expected for a 60 year old paperback even in an unread condition, just a matter of the passing of time. Contents: "The Dead Past" (1956) "The Foundation of S.F. Success" (1954, poem) "Franchise" (1955; a Multivac story) "Gimmicks Three" (1956) "Kid Stuff" (1953) "The Watery Place" (1956) "Living Space" (1956) "The Message" (1955) "Satisfaction Guaranteed" (1951; a Susan Calvin robot story) "Hell-Fire" (1956) "The Last Trump" (1955) "The Fun They Had" (1951) "Jokester" (1956; a Multivac story) "The Immortal Bard" (1953) "Someday" (1956; a Multivac story) "The Author's Ordeal" (1957, poem) "Dreaming Is a Private Thing" (1955) See images for complete condition details. Super, super nice - you just don't see 60 year old paperbacks like this every day! Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, full insured.
