The Second Doctor Who Monster Book

The Second Doctor Who Monster Book, from 1977, is simply a very brief retelling of the stories from the first three Fourth Doctor seasons, from Robot to The Talons of Weng Chiang. It is prefaced by character sketches of the Fourth Doctor and Harry, Sarah and Leela, which are I guess potentially important source material for interested fic writers. There are copious illustrations - mostly black and white photos with a few colour two-page spreads. Mostly the choice of pictures is good though there are some very odd exceptions - the illustrations for Revenge of the Cybermen appear to be in fact from Tomb of the Cybermen, and in one or two other cases we just have the book cover. Still, as an update to The Making of Doctor Who it must have served a purpose. ( )
