3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent content let down by poor production, 10 May 2002

By A Customer

This is a fascinating book - unfortunately the paper is very poor and the general production quality screams "cheap" !! It's also rather too small to be used comfortably. It would be nice to see this re-issued in a larger format, on better paper - I'm sure it would then become THE reference book for Who fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The essential tool for deconstructing Who!, 2 Mar 2002

By A Customer

A fascinatingly complete analysis of every televised story. You may not always agree with the conclusions about the stories, but you will inevitably find yourself reaching for it every time you watch an episode. This is slightly superior to the earlier less balanced "Discontinuity Guide".
