This weekend I found a book in the B. Dalton Bookstore in the Mall of New
Hampshire entitled "Doctor Who, A Celebration, Two Decades Through Time and
Space".

Although it costs $17.95, it is well worth it if you are a fan of the Doctor!

It contains chapters on the genesis of the show and its evolution through the
years (written by people who were involved in the production), biographies
of all the Doctor actors (including their own views of the part), features on
the Daleks, the Dr Who movies, the Doctor's companions, the Master and back-
stage glimpses of the show from directors, producers and writers.

Perhaps the best part of the book is a section containing a synopsis of each
episode (through the '82-'83 season). The summaries range from one paragraph to
a whole page. 

The book also contains lots of photos.

If you are a Whovian (that's what the fan clubs call themselves), you should
get this book!

BTW: One missing piece is any detail about the 20th Anniversary show; the book
was published in May '83. There are a few references to the show: I found out
that the Tom Baker scenes in 'The Five Doctors' were taken from an serial
called 'Shada' that was never finished due to a strike at the BBC and there-
fore never shown before.
