Source: The TARDIS Library "Files Magazine Spotlight On..." (or "Focus On...") were a series of factual books published in the US during the mid-to-late 1980s by one-man publishing empire Hal Schuster (also responsible for publications such as Fantasy Empire magazine). Despite the content, these books perhaps have slipped under the radar for many Doctor Who collectors — the often amateurish cover design, plus the off-putting "Magazine" title perhaps combining to reduce their appeal. Now for the list:

  • Source: The TARDIS Library "Files Magazine Spotlight On..." (or "Focus On...") were a series of factual books published in the US during the mid-to-late 1980s by one-man publishing empire Hal Schuster (also responsible for publications such as Fantasy Empire magazine). From the name, you would expect these publications to be magazines, and you'd be half right: they were typically distributed to comic stores rather than bookshops, one appeared roughly every month during the 3 or so years they were in existence, and they usually had a magazine-like page count of 50-60 pages. However they also exhibited the following "book-like" characteristics: unlike virtually all magazines, the individual "issues" were not numbered or dated and contained no topical content or advertising — also several of them carried an ISBN number and all of them were perfect-bound, hence physically resembling an A4-sized paperback book. Over 30 such books were published about Doctor Who, all written by John Peel, and each one covering a particular season (or a particular Doctor's entire era) in depth, containing episode casts, plot summaries, production information and all the usual content you would expect from a behind-the-scenes book. "Files Magazine" publications also appeared for other TV and movie series, most notably Star Trek and James Bond, before the format disappeared in the late 80s. Despite the content, these books perhaps have slipped under the radar for many Doctor Who collectors — the often amateurish cover design, plus the off-putting "Magazine" title perhaps combining to reduce their appeal.
