Check your Poundlands! Saw a few copies of the 2011 Brilliant Book the other day in a branch. Worth it for the Brian Aldis story alone.

If I'm in the Falkirk one in the next two days I shall have a look there. No promises as I am not sure I want to brave the shopping bits of town at the moment.....

No joy in the Swindon branch. I need a copy to go with my printed copy of the 1965 edition ;-)

'Doctor Who and an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks' 2011 reprint has been dug out of the reading pile. It's still great!

I spotted it today in a Waterstones. £3 off RRP. Nah, I'll just grab it from the ASDA when it turns up there.

I bought the novelisation of The Romans since I'm on a bit of a Donald Cotton kick. What a brilliant book! I really recommend it, and the epistolary style actually works really well.
Also it was like, £2 posted from ebay. Bargain! Now to read the Gunfighters!!

I saw the Target reprints in Blackwells. Quite a large number of them, to my surprise! And 3 for 2! I shall grab them the other side of payday. They look very well done: clearly some love has been lavished on them. Shiny logos, nice paper/card stock, the proper typefaces and each has an intro and a feature about the book. -Ralph They've even got the "Changing face of Doctor Who" bit on the inside title page! |

It's a shame the selection is a bit uninspired. It feels more like they picked 11 random books (or books from authors currently still working for BBC Books) rather than definitive classics.

They are a bit random but there are some good books in there and I must admit when I saw the trade dress I resigned myself to getting all of them!

To be fair, I was mostly hoping that the first Doctor book would be The Time Travellers, since it's supposed to be great and I can't find a copy for a sane price. But no, it's a Stephen Cole book.

He was a great editor and got the BBC interested in releasing missing episode soundtracks again. He also managed the VHS line. I have a lot of time for him.

I just wish we'd gotten Alien Bodies as the Eighth Doctor release, a classic book and no mistake.

Justin Richards meanwhile was a fantastic writer, but his time as editor on the range saw me drift away. |

Completely agree with you re: Richards.
