I've been really quiet and bus, but I wanted to say how much I've appreciated these glimpses at the old magazines. Asimov is one of my favorites and I love "The Caves of Steel". Quite a treat to see this cover, another look at the future I was promised but didn't get :)
I too am a big fan of 'Caves of Steel' and I think I actually had that issue of Galaxy.
I had at one time been given a box of old sci-fi novels and magazines by an older cousin and that cover looks incredibly familiar.
Glad you guys are enjoying them. I love these old cover illustrations, too. Especially those old Ace doubles. They can be great inspiration for SFRPG scenarios.
