Location: New Zealand		You are in for a treat this year. There is some really great stuff in the upcoming 12. Star Maker is a personal favourite of mine, and although it is not everyone's cup of tea (like First and Last Men, it may be an acquired taste), it just totally blew my mind the first time I read it. I haven't dared re-read it since in case it doesn't live up to that first reading, 20 some years ago.

The Sirens of Titan is the only one of the list I haven't yet read.

I don't have to worry about getting hold of any of this series as when Gollancz started putting them out I thought they looked like a good way to get hold of some of the classics of SF, and started buying them. As I only had to buy 1 or 2 at a time, it wasn't too difficult. Now I still collect them as they come out, and the only problem I have is where to store them all! I long ago ran out of shelf space. I may have to buy a bigger house.
