It feels like a bit of a cheat to call this a book review, because this is not the sort of book you sit down and read through from beginning to end (unless you are a Doctor Who obsessive). Instead, it is a book of lists that you dip into and out of - what lists you might ask? Well, it is a book on Doctor Who collectibles, so it lists every Doctor Who book, magazine, toy, miniature, trading card, jewellery, badge, poster, etc, etc. If you collect Doctor Who, you will want a copy of this book.

Except ... this book was published in 2000 so all the information is now at least that much out of date. So, unless you only collect really old Doctor Who things, this book will be totally useless.

Except ... the authors took everything they wrote about and put it on a website instead, which they also keep up to date. It's called the Doctor Who Toybox and can be found here http://www.doctorwhotoybox.co.uk.

Except ... when I went to check the site today, it had been suspended. I just hope this is a temporary thing because I only just found this site and it looked amazing.

So ... this book is either 1 star or 5 stars, depending on how you feel about the contents, so lets call it 3 stars
