Gold The Final Science Fiction Collection - Isaac Asimov

A collection of stories, writing about science fiction, and writing about science. The first roughly 40% of the book is a short story collection, the next section includes articles about science fiction, and the last, articles about writing. The stories are pretty minor apart from a couple, and quite a few of the amusing short joke variety.

The rest may not be of too much interest to those with only a passing interest in SF, or none in writing, but Asimov's cheerfully pleasant not taking himself too seriously style continues throughout.
