[net.tv.drwho] New Dr. Who books

mom@sfmag.UUCP (M.Modig) (10/16/85)

Have just received a copy of Lyle Stuart's list of new titles for
1985, which includes several new Dr. Who stories.

In hardbound:

The Twin Dilemma (due in October)
Galaxy Four (November)
Time Lash (December)

$12 each

In paperback:

The Invasion (October)
The Krotons (November)
The Two Doctors (December)

The first two are $2.95, the last $3.25-- it looks like the
paperback price increase I've seen in most stores will hit the Dr.
Who books by the end of the year.

All three of the paperback books due out are already available in
hardcover, and there are several titles out in hardback (The Gunfighters,
The Time Monster, and, by the end of the year, Time Lash) that have
not had a paperback release date set yet.

A third Dr. Who quiz book is due out by the end of the month, and
"Doctor Who:  The Illustrated A to Z" should already be out.  I
haven't seen it, but it was panned pretty severely in "Celestial
Toyroom" (the DWAS newsletter)-- the reviewer said that it was more
like a redone Programme Guide, and that the price difference (the
book sells for $17.95) wasn't worth the improvement.  Has anyone
seen it?  For that matter, what Dr. Who books have you seen, read,
bought, etc., and what do you think of them?
