October 27th, 2013 - 5:56pmI’m also considering some other books, like ‘The Vault’ and ‘The Doctor – His Lives and Times’. Do you have these, and if so, are they good?
booboo
October 27th, 2013 - 5:57pmnot really a book person to be honest, would imagine the vault is very good though

October 27th, 2013 - 6:04pmAlright, thanks.
I know the Christmas List is coming next weekend, but if you were to recommend your top few things for Christmas, what would they be? My family is starting to ask, and there’s a lot of choice this year!

100000BC
October 13th, 2013 - 1:11pmJust because there’s only 7 classic monsters on the front it doesn’t mean there’s only 7 on the inside. In other words: Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!
McGann is The Doctor
May 11th, 2013 - 7:08pm50 years represented by 7 classic series monsters (all from the 70s) and the rest all post 2005.
Very poor.
100000BC
October 13th, 2013 - 1:08pmActually 6 if you’re only counting the actual old versions, plus 1 classic TARDIS from the 90’s.
100000BC
October 13th, 2013 - 1:10pmActually there’s something at the bottom of the 5, I should know what it is but I can’t quite remember.
Fez Master
May 11th, 2013 - 4:42pmI really like the cover!
Ace Mccoy
May 11th, 2013 - 2:19pmThis is probably full of new monsters with the added Krynoid, Zygon, Quark and Sea Devil
not getting it in other words
DoctorWhoFan101
May 11th, 2013 - 2:36pmPROBABLY. But I’m getting it cos it’s an incredible front cover… Though I hope it’s bigger on the inside and it’s good.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
May 11th, 2013 - 12:23amNotice how it’s mostly 4th, 3rd, 9th, 10th and 11th monsters… 😐
Ace Mccoy
May 11th, 2013 - 2:18pmProbably because all the other monsters looked fake – I still love them though!

Rebecca
May 10th, 2013 - 5:32pmLooks like a nice book might get this for the 50th Aniversary and spread the word of girls named Rebecca
Mr Evil Fez
May 10th, 2013 - 4:18pm😀 Series 7 monsters on the cover!
The Flying Shark
May 10th, 2013 - 3:28pmThis looks like a good book.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 10th, 2013 - 3:04pmI think book makers are over doing it when it comes to books such as these. There usually full of the same old knowledge that more or less every Doctor Who fan know about like his home planet is called Gallifrey, he has 2 hearts, Tardis stands for Time And Relative Dimention[s] In Space etc.
doctor hugh
May 10th, 2013 - 6:08pmi know what your saying. i would prefer if it told us some interesting facts rather then what we already know. these books are told as if you were inrtoducing doctor who to them.still looks good so might buy.
CG
May 10th, 2013 - 2:12pmI don’t know if I want this because I want so many other newish DW reference books.
I can only see 7 classic monsters on the front.
TheWhomobile
May 10th, 2013 - 3:57pmThat’s exactly what I thought looking at it. Like there’s no reason to have a paradigm and a new series Dalek, why not have a classic instead?
Esterath
May 10th, 2013 - 11:39pmThen get the Who-ology, Much better than this by the looks of it.
TheMadManWithABox1
May 11th, 2013 - 12:41pmThere’s 8 on the cover
TheMadManWithABox1
