Fifties pulps are not mentioned very often here, but have some cool covers nonetheless.

 

This pulp and PB both date from 55. Asimov's "Foundation" has long been a personal favorite of mine.

I have always enjoyed "Foundation", and finally got my hands on the first printing of the story in pulp form:

That's a sweet Astounding with other visible virtues in addition to Isaac.

I really need to read Van Vogt.... lol

 

Ditto on the astounding book. :applause: I too am just discovering van Vogt, and picked up the book shown below recently.

This site has a ranking of classic sci-fi (40's to 60') broken down into two lists, one sponserd by the site and the other list is voted on by the public. Interestingly Asimovs "Foundation" leads the publics list but is not in the top 25 of the site's list. However van Vogt has a book on each list (Slan & World of Null-a)
