About I, Robot

I, Robot is a collection of nine science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov, first published in 1950. It was Asimov's first book of robot stories, containing tales of positronic robots that are often conflicting with the famous Three Laws of Robotics.

Identifying the First Edition of I, Robot

The first edition of 'I, Robot' published by Gnome Press in 1950 can be identified by its green cloth binding and the absence of the dust jacket, which featured the robot illustration by Edd Cartier.
