purplecat: The Second Doctor holding his diary (Who:Books)



One of the advantages, as a child, of a birthday in late November was that one tended to get hot-of-the-presses anniversary stuff for Doctor Who as gifts. I recall the excitement of receiving this book. It wasn't the first book about the history of Doctor Who, but it certainly one of the earlier examples of a genre of books that there are now a lot of. Its high production values, with a hard cover, plenty of photos (some of which were in colour!) made it really special.

Of course, today, it seems fairly simplistic, but its probably hard to over-estimate how influential it was to how a lot of people my age understand the history of the show.
