I have had great success at finding collections of his essays in used book
stores. They're cheap, legal and GREAT reading!

As noted elsewhere, you'll have to buy the books. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bookfinder.com" target="_blank">www.bookfinder.com</a> is the

The science fact article in this month's Analog -- May -- reminded
me of Asimov's style. It's about the different strategies for organ
replacement and has a good explanation of the trouble with each method
along with some possible future improvements. The discussion of T cells
and the thymus gland was particularly well done.

Yes, I have to agree that used bookstores are the place to go to find
old asimov books. Most of them are out of print if you visit such
sites are Barnes & Noble/Amazon.

Aside from the fact that it is fun to rummage through old books. Last
week I found a book by Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles selling
for US$00.10!

The bookstore was practically giving it away...

Another thing I noticed about Asimov books is that they are easy to
find in a stockpile of old books. The publisher usually prints his
name in BOLD letters.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
