OK, that's blown my resolve. I'm going to pick up the F&SF I'm missing (2002 and some of 2003), and see if there's anything else there I'd like. Possibly last call at fictionwise.

It would be interesting if people posted here what they've bought, to give other people good ideas. I'm tempted by the Darkover ebooks, but I just don't think I can bear the thought of organising all those short stories. That's what I want an editor/publisher to do for me.

So far I'm planning on:
27 F&SF Magazines (all the issues I didn't already have — about $1.35 an issue!)
8 by Greg Bear
3 by Mercedes Lackey
2 Martin Gereenberg anthologies
11 SF/Fantasy by Piers Anthony

And I'm still looking. It seems that I might qualify for the 15% large order rebate, and end up spending $200 on ebooks 'worth' $675. (15% club membership rebate included).

I fear this is going to destroy my "read three, buy one" resolution, and probably give me a TBR pile stretching to 2014 or later...
