Wyndham publishers put out a total of 4 hardcover books in 1974 and 1975 using the Allan Wingate imprint. They increased that number to 10 in 1976. These hardcover releases mirror the Target paperback imprints exactly. The growing popularity of Dr. Who in 1976 is clearly evident. The demand for these titles in hardcover is shown by the high prices these are demanding even in ex-library condition. Join me and my guest, Tony Whitt (Target Book Club Podcast), as we do a deep dive into the hardcovers of 1976.

Radio Times is a British TV/Radio program guide that has been around for a very long time. Dr. Who is the most represented TV show to ever appear on the cover. Collectors have been looking for these early rare issues since most of them were discarded after one week of use. Today we talk about the Dr. Who Covers and notable issues of Radio Times. I also have collection protection and the most outrageous offer! Tune in!

How do you celebrate the landmark episode of a podcast you’ve been doing for years now that talks about Target books? Talk about something entirely different! This time, our three-person discussion panel of Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes is joined by friend of the podcast Larry VanMersbergen for a special bumper volume (hey, that’s a Target reference) for a joint episode with his own show, THE DOCTOR WHO COLLECTORS PODCAST. And what are we discussing? Only the first major crossover between our favorite show and another franchise (and no, I don’t mean the DARK SHADOWS/VAMPIRELLA comic, either): THE DOCTOR AND THE ENTERPRISE!
The not-at-all Target book we will be covering in this episode can be found in four parts (text only) starting at the first link below, or in PDF version at the second link:

Today, I talk about the Dr. Who Pinball machine and 3 classic video games! We have The Mines of Terror, Dalek Attack, and Destiny of the Doctors. My guest is video gaming expert Ken VanMersbergen (yes, he's my brother!) and he owns the Dr. Who Pinball with working Dalek topper. We also have an outrageous offer from 1975, plus we protect your video games with products from retroprotection.com! Our next episode will be a joint podcast with the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast where we will celebrate their 100th episode! We will be talking about the Late Jean Airey's story "The Doctor and the Enterprise." It will be more fun than an Andoran Yo-Yo contest.

Today, we talk with the host and producer of the Target Book Club Podcast, Tony Whitt, about unusual Target Books. These are the books that were not novels, but marketing filler to capitalize on the successful sales run of Target novels. Some appealing to children, some to adults, and who knows about the others. Listen why most of these are not as collectible and you can still get some of them new! Links to buy the selected titles from Doctorwhostore.com is below. Also the most outrageous offer and collection protection!
See our website for links to buy some of these books new from Doctorwhostore.com!

I also talk about protecting those magazines and the most outrageous offer.
