Format:Hardcover
For a slim volume The 2010 Doctor Who Storybook offers a deceptively large amount of material, with eight new short prose stories and one original comic strip.
Admittedly the stories can get a little samey en masse, with various bizarre situations inevitably ending up revealed as the machinations of another race of alien monsters, but the fast pace and varied illustrations help keep the pages turning. Highlights include the return of 'The Unquiet Dead's Gelth in Mark Gatiss' spiritualist expose 'Scared Stiff'; various inanimate objects coming to life in Matt Jones' 'The Shape on the Chair' and typically bonkers fare from Paul Magrs with the Eath under attack from invading alien doors. It's James Moran though who actually manages to imbue his adventure with some emotion, with the time-slip chaos of 'The Haldenmor Fugue' highlighting a tough but necessary choice for the Doctor.
All in all, the 2010 Storybook isn't quite as strong as the best of the previous volumes, but this is still leagues ahead of the official Doctor Who Annual in terms of quality. If you only buy one hardbacked stocking-filler for Xmas, make sure it's the Storybook!

Another good collection of Doctor Who short stories with beautiful illustrations. The comic strip was probably the worst part of the book and it is a shame they have to include them as the pages could be served by having the other stories lengthened.
At Amazon's price, it is well worth the money and I recommend the book as a companion to the Doctor Who 2010 Annual or as a stocking filler.
Now, on the inside fly sheets of the front and back covers, is Tennant's Doctor trying to escape from Hartnell's Voords? It certainly looks like them though there is no reference made to them inside the book...shame!

A fitting end to this book series, this storybook has brilliant stories like The Shape On The Chair, Bennelong Point, End Of The Rainbow and The Haldenmour Fugue. The only let downs is the comic strip and Knock Knock, a story about, no joke, TALKING DOORS!!!
