I've only read one of them, but it's a corker and I reckon it should win anyway! It's a vote for The Seventies - it's hard to believe it was published 15 years ago.

I voted for the Hinchcliffe Years (note the spelling, Mr Hart ), even though its not that great as a reference work (to look stuff up in) it is a very pleasant read and lots of unusual photos (hopefully legally obtained ...)
Bazinga !

Spelling noted Jon- and corrected. 6/10 for my homework this week.
I went for Ace! which I think is pretty splendid book all round.

It's the Handbooks for me (presumably the vote counts for the whole series of them?). Whilst the three decades books were undeniably superb, I really enjoyed collecting the Handbooks for seven consecutive years and still thumb through them fairly regularly as handy reference books.

What Jonno said. He is a wise man.

Although The Sixties was actually my favourite of the three decades books (and remains for me one of the finest non-fiction Doctor Whoo books ever published), The Seventies is just as enjoyable, so it's that which gets my vote.
Of the others, I've never read Ace! or The Hinchcliffe Years, and while The Handbooks are indeed undeniably good, and are brilliantly researched, they don't have that nostalgia factor for me personally as I only managed to acquire them a couple of years ago!

The Handbooks are just stunning reading!
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!

The Handbooks were the only ones I've been at all impressed by.
