I simply can't NOT vote for 'Dr Who: The Seventies'.
I do genuinely think that all 3 of those decade books are superb. Especially this one of course.

It's a very close call between The Seventies and The Discontinuity Guide, but I think I have to agree with Wayne (for once!) and go for The Seventies.

Easy choice, The Handbooks win hands down. I'm very often using them while a story is running (when I do get around to watching that is) & they are really informative.

Handbooks for me too, for reasons outlined in previous rounds.

The Discontinuity guide. Still well-used, and amazingly in better shape than I am!

Very tough to vote here - I've got all of them bar the Tom Baker one and love the other three! I'm going to go for the Handbooks series, as I still delve into them quite often, and I loved collecting them over a six year period - an annual treat for most of the 90s!

I voted for Doctor Who: The Seventies. Though I do realise this is not actually a vote for Doctor Who IN the seventies!
Despite the dreadful cover, these were all fantastic books.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Indeed. Even my vote, (believe it or not!) is not so much a vote for the 70's one, as a vote for all three. To my mind, they're the best all round Dr Who reference books because they have lots of lovely pics in smashing glossy quality, as well as plenty of info for those of the more anoraky persuasion.

I think it's also the way the information is presented. The 60's/70's/80's were very readable, presenting just the right amount of information to remain interesting without being too dry. The Handbooks were exhaustive, but I find the 70's more enjoyable.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I still say The Sixties is the best of the three (and one of my favourite non-fiction Who books ever), but The Seventies is almost as good, and that's why it's getting my vote.
