ASIMOV (Isaac, 1920-1992, Russian-American Biochemist, Sci-Fi Writer)

Typed Postcard Signed in full 'Isaac Asimov' to John Gwynne Hughes hoping that he doesn't "mind if I save myself trouble and combine communication and autograph. Thank you for all your kind words ...", 1 side postcard with redirected address on the verso, 12 West 72, New York, 12th July

Asimov began contributing stories to science fiction magazines in 1939 and in 1950 published his first book, 'Pebble in the Sky'. He had taken his Ph.D. at Columbia in 1947, and then joined the faculty of Boston University. From 1958 onwards his professorship was nominal, without salary or duties, as he devoted himself to highly successful and lucid works of popularization and science fiction.
