Completism
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 point. It became incomplete when they novelised virtually all the remaining Old Who stories (I'm guessing the Adams stories are the only ones left) and obviously there were Baker and McCoy adventures, plus the missing season. My records of which I have are not as accurate as they might be - I took a short cut when importing them into my database - and I think a couple have gone astray.
Every so often - as in on Thursday - I come across a bookshelf of novelisations, secondhand. A few times I've filled in gaps. It is an incomplete collection.
And that offends me.
On the other hand, I have virtually no interest in reading any more novelisations of Doctor Who, and certainly would not want to get into the Virgin adventures or New Who.
But, still. Offensive. Careless.

I notice Arden 3 has an edition of The Sonnets, unlike, as far as I can see, Arden 2.
