Greenberg was a longtime friend and colleague of Asimov. Barry N. Malzberg is the science fiction author of "Beyond Apollo" and "The Bend at the End of the Road". Science fiction writer J.O.

This copy of the book is one of an advance printing of 144 copies produced for New York is Book Country. It is so identified by initials on page 50 and the lack of a bar code on the back of the dust wrapper. (REF: "The Locus Index to Science Fiction: 1984-1998".)
Laid in the book is an invitation from Tor Books (a division of Tom Doherty Associates) to a "Publication Party" in honor of Asimov and "Foundation's Friends". Also a place marker for Ed Wellen at "table 1". Very good .
