First UK edition, first impression. 8vo. Original black boards. Dust-jacket, priced 10s6d. An attractive first UK edition of the first book in Asimov's famous 'space opera', recently rather splendidly realised for the small screen. A very good copy; jacket with minor rubbing but overall very good.

Foundation is a seminal work of science fiction by Isaac Asimov. It is the first published installment of the Foundation series. The story unfolds over several centuries and follows the efforts of the psychohistorian Hari Seldon to preserve knowledge and culture in the face of the fall of the Galactic Empire.
