The Unsilent Library: Essays on the Russell T. Davies Era of the new Doctor Who (Published by the Science Fiction Foundation edited by Simon Bradshaw, Graham Sleight, and Tony Keen, with a foreword by Robert Shearman;January 2011 Paperback, 180pp, £10 ISBN 978-0-903007-08-5. Hey, it's not an SSP if I'm pimping a friend's work, right? ;-) )
(Which, shamefully, I forgot to put on last year's birthday/Christmas list. Hmmm, my MIL wanted to know what I want this year...)
