You only *think* you’ve read all the SF Masterworks – Part Deux
You know how you want to read all the SF Masterworks? Well, Gollancz seems hell-bent on making that impossible. Every year they add more and more books to the list and then they don’t even bother telling us about it. They want it to be a surprise, I guess. Just when you think you’ve polished off the last one you accidentally find out there are another dozen to go. Fiendishly clever and just a tad sadistic methinks.
So here is another batch to go with the last update back in September. Wikipedia says that Alastair Reynold’s book, Revelation Space, is supposed to be part of the series this year too but, try as I might, I could not find a cover image for it. (Edit: Thanks, Charlie, for the link to the new image.) Speaking of cover images, this bunch has some really nice ones. I can’t decide which is my favorite but I really love A Canticle for Leibowitz and To Say Nothing of the Dog and the green space of Double Star.
One strange typo I found is that the cover for This is the Way the World Ends is actually missing the word “is” in the title rendering it as “This the Way the World Ends.” I didn’t care for that so I added the “is” back into the image. I don’t know if the actual book cover will have the error but it’s all over the net with the missing word.
So what do you think of these additions? Anything surprising in there? Are we missing any that you know of ? If you have the Revelation Space cover we’d love to add that to the list too.

And there it is! Thanks, Charlie. I’ll update the image at lunch today. I never looked at Amazon UK. Usually Waterstones has all the right images for the series but they don’t have this one.
