 Nightfall and Other Stories
comment
First published by Isaac Asimov in 1969, this Science Fiction Genre Anthology collects twenty of Dr Asimov's stories, written between 1940 and 1970. The introduction invites the reader to compare the writing styles of each story, since "Nightfall (1941)" is widely considered his best work, but Dr Asimov hopes to see that his writing has improved in the decades since he began. Each story is prefaced by an introduction, usually describing Dr Asimov's personal history and how it related to writing the story in question. Most of all, he includes information on what had inspired him to try one concept or another.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Urania republished this book in three parts; issues #568, #569, and #570.

comment
Billed Above the Title: The 1969 Doubleday cover includes Dr Asimov's name above the title, but in much smaller font to give weight to the work's title, Nightfall. The 1970 Fawcett Crest cover includes the tagline, Dr Asimov's name, and then the title of the work. The 1973 German translation includes the tagline, Dr Asimov's name, and then the title of the story (for each of the three volumes it was split into). The 1982 publisher did the same thing, but credited each of the volumes as being reprints to Utopia magazine.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The Annotated Edition: Isaac Asimov writes a one-two page preface for each of the stories to add a bit more Real Life context to each of his tales.
