      Definetely not £10, less than that. Depends where you buy them. Usually about £5 and under I believe.

      my local water stones (closing down) are still selling the 2008 annual for £20!

      Thats ridiculous! I have all of them except last years and all were bought for about a fiver. I still need to get hold of the 2013 one some point soon. When I say all of them I mean 2007 onwards.

    Really good!
    New outfit, new logo! Much better than the 2013 cover! By the time we got to 2013, it had been outdated.
    I’m sure I will buy this.

    Ahh… That was me on the skateboard a few weeks ago! Or was that when I was using one to batter a Cybermen loose in the Cinema built into Big Ben in 3000? Don’t know!

    They could put the other me’s on! Even prettier!

      annuals are always announced early and available around September for the Christmas market.

    Looks good though: Matt Smith’s in-character pics always makes me smile.

      I’d laugh if for the photo of him, they actually took a photo of him doing a pose on a skateboard, like you said!

      Well, it would’ve been a bit silly to release a book which only covered 5 episodes (and probably The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe as well) of an incomplete series. Hopefully there’ll be one later this year (for 2014, of course) covering all of Series 7. 🙂

  • You Know WHO

    February 20th, 2013 - 7:38pm

    I hope this cover is a draft.
    It would be good to have all eleven doctors on the cover.

      It’s probably a low quality rough put together for approval purposes. Unless there are any objections, the final will probably be identical to this, but at print quality.

      Seems a bit lazy that they can’t make something special for the anniversary… A special anniversary annual as well as the normal one would be appropriate for something so important.

    So I take it this is an official 50th Anniversary annual and not the actual 2014 annual we’ve yet to see ?.

    Cos the title of this posting says ‘Doctor Who: Official Annual 2014’ while the cover says ‘The Official Anniversary Annual’.

      February 20th, 2013 - 3:13pm

      they can call it the 50th anniversary annual as it will be released in 2013, annuals are always behind, i doubt it will contain anything to do with the anniversary episode

      Not always remember the Brilliant Book 2012 wasn’t released until October/November so it could be up to date.
