I've always preferred Asimov's robot stories over the Foundation books, and I enjoy his mysteries, so since this is a combination of the two, it's a winner for me. I have the omnibus The Rest of the Robots which includes this novel, so I can let this copy go.

This is the first of the novels featuring Detective Elijah "Lije" Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw, his new partner. The "R." in Daneel's name stands for robot.

Adding this to JudySlump612's NPR's SF Virtual Book Box, Round 2.

...and releasing it from the VBB since JudySlump612 is taking a break from boxes.

Now available.

When I discovered there was a Little Free Library on Oahu, I had to go visit it. Unfortunately the weather was a bit damp today and the door is not entirely weatherproof: a few of the books seemed to have some water damage. I'm still thrilled that someone built one here. I took 3 books and left 9. Thank you very much!

I took a few photos: you can see them here.

Released for Secretariat's You're Such an Animal challenge and Plum-crazy's September Sapphire challenge and and Secretariat's 2012 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge: week 38 (authors beginning with S, H, or A).

This book was set free to find a new reader; I'm so glad you've found it!

This is now your book and you may do whatever you like with it, but I'm hoping you will read and enjoy it. You're welcome to keep it for as long as you wish, and you can even mark it for your "permanent collection" if you'd like...but you don't have to.

In fact, there are no requirements: it's really a free book - no strings. On the other hand, if you do make a journal entry to let the book's previous readers know that it's safely in your hands (anonymously if you wish), that would be super. :D

If you're new to BookCrossing, I hope you will take some time to explore this wonderful free and anonymous community of book lovers and learn about what it has to offer. If you decide to sign up, you may use me (hyphen8) as your referring member if you like.

When you're done with the book, please do feel free to make a journal entry saying what you thought of it or what you plan to do with it next. If you decide to pass it this book to another reader or leave it for someone else to find, joining BookCrossing will allow you to follow the book's future travels whenever another reader makes a journal entry...who knows where it will turn up next?
