When I was a kid, I read a ton of Asimov and always saw Pebble in the Sky referenced but could never find a copy - I think it was out of print at the time, and my library didn't have it. When I went to high school I found a copy in my school library that hadn't been checked out in decades and was so happy.

so you read the other parts of galactic empire and had to skip one of them? rough

When I was reading them the orders of the non-Foundation novels weren't completely clear, and maybe there was info about it on early websites/mesasage boards but I didn't have internet at home. So I had this fun experience of reading them semi-randomly. My dad had a couple of them on the bookshelf, and my family moved so I got to check out a few different libraries and find different ones. So I was able to put together the timeline of them all over time, which made it seem even more incredible than if I had read them in a more logical order.
