The Gods Themselves

by Isaac Asimov

Description

This rare Easton Press edition of Isaac Asimov's "The Gods Themselves" is a stunning volume from the "Masterpieces of Science Fiction" series, published in 1986. This collector's edition is distinguished by the artwork of Richard M. Powers, specifically three famous double-page color spreads that precede the novel's three distinct sections: "Against Stupidity," "The Gods Themselves," and "Contend in Vain." The text is complemented by an introduction by James Gunn and a dedication by Robert Silverburg. Bound in full leather, this copy features a hubbed spine and cover accented in 22k gold, displaying intricate geometric celestial motifs and bold typography. The binding is reinforced with smyth sewing and concealed muslin joints. The pages are printed on acid-neutral, archival paper and finished with gilded edges. This specific book comes from a private collection as a single-owner item. It has been strictly maintained in a dust-free bookcase within a controlled dry climate to ensure preservation. A pristine bookplate is included on the inside of the front cover. The condition is pristine, as new, and unread, representing a flawless example of this limited run. Every element, from the 22k gold stamping to the leather boards, remains in a perfect state, reflecting its careful storage history. This edition stands as a premium artifact for collectors of science fiction literature.
