 I Robot  by Isaac Asimov  Signet s1282   1st PB, 1st Printing  March 1956    $75  SOLD to goldust40

Iconic Robot cover art by Robert Schulz.  The big daddy of all Asimov pb's. Tough to find at all let alone in any kind of decent shape due to the black cover and notoriously poor Signet construction.

Fine plus. Spine is solid with a backwards lean, pages tight. Glossy without major creases, there is  a pressure line along the left side that barely breaks color and a bit of edgewear/color flakes.  Bindery chip to top of spine. Real nice for this book
