ASIMOV ISAAC: (1920-1992) American Author. Best known for his science fiction works. T.L.S., Isaac Asimov, one page, 4to, New York, 15th January 1949, to Erle Korshak. Asimov thanks his correspondent for his letter and states `The notion of an annual anthology of the best of science fiction is a good one
´ further saying `Three of my stories have already been anthologized, and $25 establishes a record low as far as money returns are concerned..´ and after a long analysis on the returns per reprints, concludes `Being the world´s poorest contract lawyer, these are probably silly points I am trying to make, but I would enjoy enlightenment. I think I have a carbon copy of ''No Connection'' around somewhere.´ With annotation to the left upper corner by Korshak, `answered, 17th January 49´. A letter of good content. Very small overall age wear and creasing to the corners. G £400-500 No Connection is a science fiction short story by Asimov, published in 1948.
