The Doctor Who Reading List Part 4

(This list wouldn't have been possible without the thing of wonder that is Tat Wood and Lawrence Miles' About Time: The Unauthorised Guide To Doctor Who and Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping's Doctor Who: The Discontinuity Guide)

And so we reach Tom Baker, the longest-running and perhaps the most literate period in the unfolding text of Doctor Who...
