About me
Born in the 90's and obsessed with 60's - 90's sci fi. I acquire faster than I can read, regularly raiding the sci fi & fantasy bookshelves at local charity and second hand book shops.
Collection Goals
Gollancz Science Fiction Masterworks
The Science Fiction Masterworks series by Gollancz was very much a trigger of my collecting obsession, the uniform cover/spine design/layout etc. across multiple books has become somewhat of an addiction within my collection and a quick glance at my bookshelves shows that the SFM series was only start. From the Panther / Granada editions of Asimov's books to a slowly growing line of Sphere SF books its starting to create little uniform pockets within my shelves. I would ideally like to get a complete set these Masterworks paperbacks (specifically the newer design), and maybe start in the hardbacks afterwards.
Currently own ~44
Destinies + New Destinies Magazines
Having stumbled accorss two copies of New Destinies last year and going on to find two copies of the original Destinies this year, I got round to giving one a shot (at the time of writing, this is the book I'm currently reading, at ~75% through). Having thoroughly enjoyed what I've read so far I decided to check how many magazine volumes where published, expecting a gargantuan number that would be almost unreasble to collect, only to find the number far lower and manageable, the good news didn't take long to be shattered when I saw the prices these seem to go for online. £20 isn't going to break the bank, but it certainly stings when I've managed to pickup 4 volumes for between £1.50 - £2.50 each by stumbling into them at second hand book shops. I'd love a full set of this magazine and it's newer version,but I think this will be a very slow burn, picking up copies as and when I bump into them in the wild at low cost.
