The Art of Hammer and The Hammer Vault i think are essential and you'll love them.

Hammer Glamour is probably less essential but well worth a purchase if you like full page images of glamorous ladies.

The authors of the book you've just purchased are Doctor Who people. Hearn is the editor of the Doctor Who magazine as well as being Hammer's official historian whilst Alan Barnes does a lengthy in depth look at a Doctor Who story every month in the magazine.

Both feature regularly in the docs on the Hammer Studio Canal blu-rays.

If you are interested Hearn has also done A Doctor Who Vault book similar to the Hammer one. If you like Doctor Who at all then that book is an equally essential book on the shows first fifty years. (No Capaldi or Whittaker)

Now you mention it I do remember seeing Hearn in those Hammer documentaries,all those books you listed including the Dr Who one sounds really good, I'll investigate more thanks.
