Thanks to a fantastic blog post by Capt. Xerox of The Website at the End of the Universe, I learned about a rare and collectable book dealer (David Aronovitz of The Fine Books Company in Michigan) who is offering a complete run of hardcover first editions for every Hugo Award and Nebula Award-winning novel from 1953 to present! The description posted on AbeBooks is a bit sparse (lists authors only) and the asking price is a tad steep ($116,000), but the lot of 126 items presumably includes these treasured works of Martian science fiction:
• Double Star (1956), by Robert A. Heinlein -- Hugo
• Stranger in a Strange Land (1961), by Robert A. Heinlein -- Hugo
• Man Plus (1976), by Frederik Pohl -- Nebula
• Red Mars (1992), by Kim Stanley Robinson -- Nebula
• Green Mars (1993), by Kim Stanley Robinson -- Hugo
• Moving Mars (1993), by Greg Bear -- Nebula
• Blue Mars (1996), by Kim Stanley Robinson -- Hugo
