Completism

[drasecretcampus]

I have a shelf of Doctor Who novelisations, pretty well all Target editions, presumably numbering somewhere in the region of a hundred, and stretching up to the end of Peter Davison's period, possibly including the odd Colin Baker. At one point it would have been complete, at least in the sense that I had all the novelisations available at that

Probably wouldn't cost that much to fill the gaps in (he said diabolically).

(You are welcome to correlate your gaps against this list.)

I am thus far surprised - I think I risked a few at the greatest secondhand shop in the world at 50p, but those I saw in Nottingham (albeit mostly library bindings) were £11 (Barnardo's, as I recall). I'm invoking the £2 rule rather than Carte Blanche.

It's not as if they'll take more than an hour to read.

Didn't price them in Broadstairs; I know I don't have any missing adventures. There are a couple I know I have which aren't with the others.

I imported an online list into my database - and never got round to then checking against volumes held and adding dates of editions. I suspect Papyrus won't work on a Mac. Something else to spring for - pro bibliography software. Unless Papyrus ever did a Mac version.

Without going downstairs to double check, I think I must have stopped around Frontios, though I'm not convinced I've got The Dominators, The Aztecs nor The Highlanders. I do have a handful of more recent ones, which are somewhat scattered around the house (The Chase, The Faceless Ones, Battle thing and two or three more)

On the other hand, I have virtually no interest in reading any more novelisations of Doctor Who, and certainly would want to get into the Virgin adventures or New Who

Erm, as my duty as pedent-of-the-net... do you mean "wouldn't"?

Thank you - corrected. And they probably weren't published by Virgin, neither.
