My Favourite Books


The Target Book

As a big Doctor Who fan and a fan of the Target Doctor Who books, I fell in love with a series of articles published in Doctor Who Magazine a few years back that chronicled the rise and fall of the Target Doctor Who books, which were an essential part of my childhood.

So I was delighted when the author of these articles decided to turn them into a book with LOTS and LOTS of nice piccies included.

I've read it 3 times now and it won an award as the most-popular non-fiction book in a recent DWM poll - even beating out all that new series crap pushed on poor unsuspecting kiddies by BBC Books.

This was when books were real books and Terance Dicks was king!

It's just a pity that so many of the books bearing his name are utter shite!

Sigh.
