FIRST EDITION OF ASIMOV'S FIRST COLLECTION OF STORIES. The title itself was taken from a short story by Eando Binder published in 1939. The link between the stories is Dr. Susan Calvin and her seventy-five years of devoted work for 'U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc.' It was here, in an introductory statement, that Asimov first postulated the 'Three Laws of Robotics'. Currey p. 17.
