Doctor Who Reference Book Wars: Round 3

I went for Cyberman, very interesting/detailed book with some amazing illustrations.

[Antony Cox]

I went for Cybermen too, as it's the only one of the lot which I own. And very good it is too!

[Jon Masters]

I went for Cybermen too, although Monsters is the only other ones of these I've got.

What about the Gallifrey Chronicles though (the hardback by John Peel, not the last EDA) ?

[Wayne]

I've only got 2 of these, but tempted as i am to pick the 'Doctor Who and the Daleks Omnibus' for nostalgic reasons, i'm going with 'Cybermen' because it deserves it.

[Stuart Wallis]

Same choice of two for me, same answer, same reason.

What about the Gallifrey Chronicles though (the hardback by John Peel, not the last EDA) ?

Ah yes... opps. Twenty minutes into the shopping I remembered I'd forgotten to include it. Well, luckily it's not much good anyway and so we'll just pretend it lost out, shall we?

The Cybermen book will be a worthy winner. It's probably my favourite Doctor Who book ever. The illustartions are indeed superb, it has a definitiveness about it which is ideal and I love the detail and the way they tied Cyber-history together.
I was almost tempted to choose The Adventures of K9 and Other Mechanical Creatures, which was a huge favourite when I was small. It was the very first Doctor Book I bought.

Logically I should vote for Cybermen as well, but my Doctor Who and the Daleks Ominbus was read and re-read so many times that it literally fell apart!

[Andrew Curnow]

Cybermen will win, and deservedly so because it is a really thorough piece of work... so given that, I'll vote instead for the Terry Nation Dalek Special (that's the fourth one on the list, not the John Peel one) because I remember getting it as a kid (Christmas present from bruv I think) and really enjoying it.

[Dirk Gently]

I went for the Cybermen as well.

[Dave Tudor]

Logic dictates that Cybermen is the most excellent book here, but purely for nostalgic reasons, I went for the Doctor Who Monster Book - I got a later edition of this for my tenth birthday, and absolutely loved it. I've still got it today, complete with photos and artwork coloured in in felt tip!

[SiHart]

I think I must have got it around the same time Dave. I think it was the Christmas after my 10th birthday as my Mum and Dad had a bit of a spluge at The Who Shop which we visited to spend my birthday money that year. I didn't colour mine in though!
