Reviews / Votes
'Apart from the well written and insightful essays, what I liked the most about FP: DW was that throughout-but particularly in editor Booth's "The First Time," Doctor Who fans are never treated only as a subject for study-there is a lot of (for want of a better word) "soul" when discussing fandom. Also, and this is typical of Intellect's output, the design of the book is wonderful, with illustrations from official and fan creations and a gorgeously minimalist cover.' -- AJ Gulyas, History, Teaching and the StrangeMore details
