My all time top ten favourites though are
The Sixties
The Seventies
The Eighties
Timeframe
The Hinchcliffe Years
Special Effects
Ace: The Story the End of an Era
The Discontinuity Guide
TimeView - The Complete Illustrations of Frank Bellamy
Blacklight: The Art of Andrew Skilleter
A bit of a love/hate for The Unfolding Text due to studies.
The one I've most enjoyed is The Discontinuity Guide...a very well researched yet not terribly serious book by Cornell (yes, that one) ,Topping and Day, which covers all C20 Who stories. Might've helped that I appear to be on a similar wavelength to the authors, who seem particularly fond of the Hartnell and Davison eras.( And they really don't like The Dominators!) A great, fun read.
That one features mini biographies of every actor who has played the Doctor on screen, including Peter Cushing. Also includes a biography of Peter Capaldi, who at the time the book came out, had been chosen as the 12th Doctor, but hadn't been seen in the role.
Also, this one is a great read:
"The Who's Who of Doctor Who", by Cameron K. MckEwan.
If you ever wanted a definitive guide to every DW companion, from Susan Foreman and Barbara Wright in the C20 days, up to Amy Pond and Clara Oswald in the C21 days, then this is the one to get:
It came out in May 2013, so it doesn't have much on Clara Oswald. Only that she has been seen twice by the Doctor, and Clara from 21st Century England will be seen in Series 7.
I've got this, and I can say, even though there are no pictures, the writing is informative and detailed.
The person who wrote this has obviously been a massive fan of DW for years, judging by the thorough research that seems to have been undertaken.
The other book covering Doctor Who companions by John Nathan Turner, simply called "The Companions," has been out of print since the early 1990s. I tried to get a copy a few months ago off amazon, but it didn't mention it. So, I went to ebay. The only copy I could buy (second-hand that is), that had free postage, was expensive. The minimum I could get it for was £12.99, so I didn't bother.

I thought both The Tardis Handbook and The Dalek Handbook were great reads too!
