This new book from Marcus Hearn seems a must buy to me.
If its anything like his excellent Hammer books then it will be a delight.
The Vault
by Marcus Hearn
Published by BBC Books on 24 October 2013
Drawing on unseen and iconic material from the BBC archive and private collectors, The Vault is an unforgettable journey through 50 years of Doctor Who, via carefully selected photographs, props, costumes designs, production memos, letters, scripts and more.
This is the full and official story of Doctor Who, from the first pre-production memos in 1963 to the most recent props created for the 2013 series, including interviews with key players and scores of prop photos, design sketches and behind the scenes stills from every decade of the show’s production. Taking you year by year through the world’s
longest running science fiction series, Marcus Hearn explores the show’s groundbreaking innovations as well as its impact on popular culture through books and comics, magazines and toys, merchandise and ephemera.
The Vault is a collector’s dream, and the ultimate celebration of Doctor Who. |
