*Annuals: Doctor Who, of course, has been a fixture in the zeitgeist almost since the TV series debuted in 1963, and it wasn’t long before a world of merchandise emerged themed around Gallifrey’s favourite son and his time-traversing adventures. The BBC released Annuals of original material for the lucrative Christmas gift market commencing in 1965, and we are delighted to have exceptionally nice copies of the first three. The 1965 Doctor Who Annual, the first, is FN+ £25; the 1966 Annual, scarcer than its parent, is also FN+ at £40 and the 1967 Annual, the first featuring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor, is significantly less common than the first two. This FN/VF copy is £60. All three have unmarked interiors, with the original prices not clipped, no puzzles or activity pages filled in, no gift dedication or previous owners’ names written in; the 1965 and 1966 Annuals have very minor wear at the spine tips, and a small ‘bubble’ in the laminate on their front covers. The 1967 Annual has a tiny impact flaw at the upper right front cover corner, and a matching mark on the back cover, indicating it has been dropped at one point, but without significant damage. All three are clean, bright, superior copies, and the second and third issues are genuinely uncommon. (NB: There is some confusion on certain sales sites regarding the dates. Because they were released for the Christmas gift market, some vendors call these the 1966, 1967 and 1968 Annuals. We go by the actual years of release, since there are no exterior cover dates.) SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
