I have them and they are good and I enjoy them, I suppose I was just hoping something else had been written. Oh well, I won't worry about it too much.
Yes, that thought occured to me as well. It's exactly the kind of book I was thinking of. The only snag is, I can't remember where I've put it.
Josh Marsfelder used to do a TARDIS Eruditorum-style take on Star Trek (but also anime for some reason?) called Vaka Rangi, initially on its own blog, later integrated into the Eruditorum Press site. A couple book volumes were published. But to be honest, I found it pretty terrible.
You get it! It seems to me that Star Trek fanzines went more down the fanfic route than Who fanzines which focussed more on analysis and reviews. Of course, alot of Who fans are actively involved in the restoration/research and are easily contactable which it seems is not a factor in Trek. Everything seems to be at arm's length re. Star Trek and its history. Who seems to afford more access to it's paperwork, prints, production etc.
Part of the issue is probably that each Doctor Who story is so different, too; the productions of, say, The Smugglers, The Tenth Planet, and Power of the Daleks are distinct in a way that's just not true of, say, "The Corbomite Manuever," "Balance of Terror," and "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" Don't the notorious These Are the Voyages books take an episode-by-episode production approach?
