+
+This page ties in a little with my [Reading List](/reading-list). I'm in the process (or have been) collecting the [Gollancz SF Masterworks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF_Masterworks#Numbered_series) and reading through the entire collection. I never really set out with the intention of reading every book but when you get over half way through it seems more of 'why not?' type deal.
+
+You're not going to find any reviews here, that could and has been done much better by other people. I'm just tracking progress here.
+
+## Physical Collection
+Physically, I have every single book excluding the forever elusive #73 which I've been on the lookout for for quite a number of years now. The re-release pops up nearly daily but the original black spine version, forget about it.
+
+Now the quality varies massively from - *well loved* ex-library copies to pristine never read volumes. At the end of the day though, as far as I'm concerned so long as the words are legible with a bit of squinting I don't especially care and they're popular enough for free digital copies to be in arms reach anyway.
+
+So, on to lists. We all love a good list, right?
