"Into the Vortex" Bookazine


DWM is publishing a new bookazine (magazook?) titled Into the Vortex. It had a publishing date of 26th September, but you'll be hard pushed to actually find it in a shop - so probably best order from Panini or some other on-line seller. (It's on e-bay already).
Still waiting for mine to arrive but it appears to act as very good beginners guide to the series. There's a brief word about every single story up to the S14 finale.
Other chapters consider the popular monsters, whilst others cover genres of story - making recommendations as to where you might want to dip in if new to Doctor Who
As a bookazine, rather than one of the occasional Special Editions, it is more expensive - RRP £19.99 - but it has more than 200 pages. 
Expect all the best stuff to be crammed into the first 100 pages, with far too much emphasis on more recent material. Sadly, that's what we get from officially sanctioned publications these days. Was horrified to see that the 2025 Official Calendar forces Hartnell / Troughton and Davison / C Baker to share months, whilst the Fourteenth gets a whole one to himself, despite only appearing in three episodes.
