What a coincidence. We are in the process of a major remodeling around the Swordmaker house and today I was packing up books to move them out of the way and regretfully decided to finally toss my dog-eared, broken spined SFBC copy of the Foundation Trilogy. It is residing in my trashcan even as we type!
I sat on the beach in Surf City, New Jersey and read that book cover-to-cover in two weeks back in circa 1968. My kids will have to throw it away when I'm dead. Along with everything else pack-rat me throws in the attic.
By the way, can there be any doubt where George Lucas got (at least some, probably a whole lot) of his inspiration for Star Wars?
