A great collection of Asimov's short stories. And his prefaces to each story are quite interesting insights to his writing and thought processes.
"Segregationist" is one of my favourites. "Nightfall", as the opening and titular story, is of course hugely well-known. "C-Shoot" remains a classic, and the dramatised version is still available on Youtube, and "Insert Knob A in Hole B" " delivers a marvellous punch.
In all, a great collection with numerous jumping-off points to explore more of Asimov's canon.
