Doctor Who Target Collection Signed Bookplate Editions

Available to order while stocks last from www.forbiddenplanet.com

For Doctor Who fans, the range of novelisations published by Target Books in the 1970s and 1980s hold a special place. There was a novel published for almost every Doctor Who serial between 1963 and 1989, with a very few (five, actually) notable exceptions.Since 2012, BBC Books has been successfully reissuing these classic paperbacks and expanding the Target range to include all-new novelisations of modern-era Doctor Who episodes.

    Just wondering, now Target as just released these 7 books with all the stories having a different Doctor.
    Can we expect another 7 books to arrive soon from Target with stories from the remaining 7 Doctors.
    Any thoughts people?

    Booboo, with these having to be signed, can you forsee a delay.
    Just been on my account and there still showing as awaiting despatch.
    Thought they would be posted by now so they would reach me tomorrow?

      The authors are signing the book plates at home i assume then presumably sending the to FP to insert into the books

      They do have to books but things may take a bit longer to put together.

      The FP release date has never been the date you should get it on only the date they get it.

    If you order from FP with a card, around which date do they take monies. Usually before due date or much earlier?

      Just wondering with Covid and postal delays etc, what’s the chance of these books being released on time on the 12th March.
      Do these sought of books usually keep getting delayed like the Blu ray collections normally do?

      samples have been sent out so they are printed done and dusted, don’t see any delays other than postal issues

      FP have been super slow with dispatching stuff lately due to Covid, I had an item pre-ordered, took 2 weeks from release to ship and a further week to arrive. :/

      that’s good, they would normally hold an in-store event for these so far more people will be ordering on-line

    Missed out on Dalek and The Crimson Horror which is a shame. Fingers crossed that they may do some more.

    Excellent, all ordered. At the moment The Pirate Planet isn’t signed though, hope that changes. Thanks for the heads up as ever!

    I never know how signed editions work, are they print signed or hand signed?

      February 11th, 2021 - 7:35pm

      hand signed, but bookplates are signed by the author, then affixed to the book as in this case they cant do in person signings in the current climate.

      Ah right, thank you for the clarification.
