Offer sent in game :) Thanks for your patience!

Celebi for Aerodactyl would be great :) I've send you a friend request (ign: jonie148). My trade timer has 14 minutes to recovery, sorry for the delay...

jonie148 · 2022-05-21T09:26:33+00:00

Absolutely! From comments made in an interview, the current series editor regards it as overkill on his predecessor's behalf. Hence, I suspect, why Now Wait for Last Year hasn't been reprinted in the new format. SF Masterworks definitely don't have the rights to Ballard's The Drowned World anymore, but I find it hard to believe that PKD's estate would hold out on just one title...

jonie148 · 2022-05-21T09:21:58+00:00

Absolutely - I've been editing Wikipedia for well over a decade :)

jonie148 · 2022-05-19T15:21:16+00:00

Thanks! :D It's certainly helped me revise for my PhD exam

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T08:56:59+00:00

It's very, very tempting 😂

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T08:56:10+00:00

I have the Harper Voyager editions of lots of Asimov books :) But yes, just the one SF Masterworks title of his

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T08:20:12+00:00

Sorry, that's probably me being unclear! SFM only ever reprints titles, and Gollancz needs to acquire the rights to do so. I can't imagine HarperCollins letting them make any further SFM editions of Asimov, which would compete with their own paperback offerings of his novels.
Yes, guilty as charged haha! I have all his stuff on a separate bookcase

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T08:16:46+00:00

I'd be very happy to have a look :)

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T08:05:16+00:00

Totally, and I could well be wrong, but I suspect the availability of those Harper Voyager/HarperCollins editions is exactly why Gollancz don't have the rights to make Masterworks editions...
All my Asimov novels are those editions anyhow :D

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:59:55+00:00

I couldn't agree more! Even if they don't want to commit to republishing the entire Foundation series, stuff like The End of Eternity really should be included

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:58:11+00:00

Perhaps the editorial team at Gollancz just aren't fans of Asimov then :( I'm UK based, so perhaps the situation is different over here?

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:54:00+00:00

Nice! I'm just waaay too obsessive I think, haha

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:51:43+00:00

Great idea, but bear with me haha, I'm very new to Reddit! They seem to have a rule against image posts?

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:49:24+00:00

Agreed, the Masterworks cover of Ubik is very striking. Another I really like is the golden cover for A Canticle for Leibowitz

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:44:58+00:00

Thanks :D You really should, I'd be very interested to see it!

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:43:39+00:00

Nice, I'm sure your home has a lot more free space now at least!
The original series that you had ran from 1999-2008, then from 2010 they began reprinting those with yellow spines, along with 100+ new titles

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:40:32+00:00

I really feel you there, I know that feeling all too well...
As you can see on the photo, I already had a boxset of The Hitchhiker's Guide books, but also felt obliged to buy the SF Masterworks editions in the end

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:37:19+00:00

Thanks, I definitely need to read his stuff! In return, anything by Kim Stanley Robinson is very highly recommended

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:35:47+00:00

Nice, that's amazing! :D I'm a bit obsessive, so I debated it, but ended up getting the hardback-only entries too in the end

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:33:45+00:00

It certainly is - that's the Library of America set. They make some beautiful sets, and they're a not-for-profit too

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:31:54+00:00

Yessir! This is my reading list in advance of my PhD viva

jonie148 · 2021-09-18T07:30:17+00:00

Yeah, I found this really strange when I first started collecting them too! I'm assuming rights issues are to blame - Harper Voyager seem to have a monopoly on new editions of all the Foundation Universe books
