Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Ex library, with usual horrible library mess and defects. Some edge wear to top and bottom of classic Gollancz yellow jacket and spine, jacket laminated onto boards, spine faded, corners crushed, flaps I think present but invisible due to board lamination so don't know if price clipped, no personal inscriptions, some yellowing to page fore edges, nasty lean, internally cleanish and tight, overall a reading copy only. 206pp. 'Buy Jupiter and Other Stories' is a 1975 collection of short stories by American writer Isaac Asimov (1920-92). Each story is introduced by a short account of how it came to be written and what was happening in Asimov's life at the time, and follows on from where 'The Early Asimov' left off. In the introduction, Asimov explains that his objective is to tell enough of his autobiography in his short story collections so that his editors will stop asking him to write an actual autobiography. (However he eventually wrote three volumes of autobiography anyway). Quite a scarce book. Seller Inventory # 011688

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 206 pages clean and tight. The 24 stories in this collection are vintage Asimov, ranging in time from 1950 to 1973. Most of them are quite short and have surprise endings; and the author provides witty or rueful reminiscences of how each came to be written. These "biographical commentaries", as Asimov himself calls them, form a sort of literary autobiography by the author and make fascinating reading. In the title story, some far-ranging aliens want to lease the planet Jupiter from the Solar System and use it as the biggest advertising billboard in the Universe. Take a Match is a suspense story about an interstellar ship which gets stuck in a dustcloud. In Key Item a computer acts up and demands a little human courtesy when it finds itself being handled too callously by its programmers. These, and the other stories in the collection, have none of them appeared in any of the author's earlier anthologies. A previous collection, The Early Asimov, brought this comment from Tom Hutchinson in The Times: `Dr Asimov is so repeatedly anthologized that it is with a real sense of joy that one approaches this new volume of 27 stories never before collected together. The paint is as fresh as ever; overriding all the incredible energy in the formulation of new worlds and new ideas. Just as interesting as the stories are the slotted-in memoirs of how they and others came to be written.' Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 132809
