Bill Clarke was kind enough to lend me a compendium of Asimov that contained the next book in the series I'm reading at the moment. I've had to skip over some of the earlier collections of robot short stories, because they're quite hard to find. Specifically, I haven't been able to find anyone with a copy of The Complete Robot for sale, even new.
This book is the next in the Robot series, and the second which features Detective Baley. Again Baley is solving a murder, although this time its occurred on a Spacer world instead of his own Earth. Along the way he has to confront his own fear of open spaces, as well as other's fear of proximity to other humans.
This was again another excellent book. I enjoyed it a lot.

I was going to say earlier that most of these titles are extremely hard to find. I spent *years* looking for _Pebble_ _in_ _the_ _Sky_.
However, it appears that that they are being re-published in hardback form since the start of the year. So they might be turning up at libraries very shortly.
I have the entire collection of book but they are all back in Sydney.

Torrents are the key ... ;)
Alternatively for the legit copy, amazon and alibris both have copies available.
