I went for the Discontinuity Guide because it's fun and doesn't have any of the factual errors of either Travels or The Doctors...
The Book of Lists is fine for a book comprised of lists and I always liked the Technical Manual when I was a young'un.

I only read the Book Of Lists and bit of The Completely Useless Encyclopedia. I thought the latter lived up to its name, so Book Of Lists it is.
Oh, and Si, where did The Discontinuity Guide come into it?

The Technical Manual was my bible when growing up, so it gets my vote! I do love the Book of Lists though, it is the ideal toilet read!
One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

No contest, I'm going for The Completely Useless Encyclopedia (which I assume is what Si's going for!!) as it's just in places very funny. My favourite is probably the bit about putting Metebelis Three into a spellchecker and it coming out with Meatballs Three!!
Of the others, I think bruv had the technical manual but it's an odd book - never quite sure what the point of it was. Travel without the TARDIS is useful if you're going somewhere, but not really a rivetting read. And The Doctors is OK, despite missing out a whole season, and does actually have some photos I've not seen elsewhere.

I've gone for The Book of Lists. I love lists.

Completely Useless Encyclopedia, I think. Travel Without The TARDIS is quite cute, the Technical Manual is a bit too technical, Lists is too anal and 'The Doctors' is too old, too bad and too Welsh.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

The only one of these which I have read is The Completely Useless Encyclopedia, and it's a genuinely funny read - in fact, possibly the only Who-related reference book which has made me laugh out loud more than once. It gets my vote.
