I have half a dozen or so of the Doctor Who Annuals, all but one of which I acquired from eBay a couple of years ago. Most of them aren't particularly hard to find if you're not interested in pristine condition. Since they tend to have puzzles and such inside, even the interior isn't always in the best shape, but that's ok, I wasn't planning on doing the puzzles anyway. I did notice that, since most of them aren't dated on the outside, there was some difference of opinion as to which annual corresponded to which year, so you'd see a line-item on eBay that said "Doctor Who Annual 1985" and then you'd look at the picture and it was the one from 1984. So I put together a list of all the known annuals and yearbooks and as I came across pictures on eBay I'd grab it and save it into the list as kind of a visual concordance to the complete Doctor Who Annuals. Some of them I never did find, which leads me to wonder if they truly exist, but I should take up the chase again. I thought this might be something handy for the web page, since I don't know if anyone else has done it (although I have to confess I haven't looked). If I come across a better one I'll accede to it, but in the meantime it's my menial contribution to Doctor Who, and I didn't have to scan anything myself. I could put up covers of all 120+ issues of Doctor Who magazine, but who wants to sit there and scan them all? All this web space is a blessing and a curse.
