Foundation's Edge

Isaac Asimov · Doubleday (New York) · 1982

The US Doubleday 1982 trade hardcover is the true first edition. The UK Granada edition (1983) is later. A Whispers Press signed limited edition (1982) was issued in 1,000 numbered copies plus 26 lettered copies, signed by Asimov and publisher Stuart Schiff; it is a contemporaneous signed-limited 'first thus' rather than the trade first.
