I've got my trusty 1984 edition of "The Making of Doctor Who" by Terrence Dicks and Malcolm Hulke. Geared to juvenile readers and of course ending early in Tom Baker's run, it does a decent job of explaining the show. And when RetroTV started showing the classic series, the episode guide was invaluable to see what story would be coming next--at least until the end of "Hand of Fear." Then I had to go to Wikipedia.
'84? Must be a reprint.
I've got my original 1976 Dicks and Hulke version, and a 1972 Hulke & Dicks one I picked up later. The former includes my pencil ep guide for Deadly Assassin and Face of Evil... after that the blank half-page ran out.
[I was looking for a *like* button just there.]
Possibly.
I was too lazy to go into the next room to the bookshelf. I still am. So I googled it up. The version on Amazon that has the cover mine has (Tom Baker's face with a plum colored scarf and a big fedora inside a target) shows a 1984 date.
Apparently there is an earlier version with Pertwee on the cover. I'd be interested to see that, given my version uses Baker's "Robot" premiere in quite a bit of the material.
Mine has various cryptic stars and checks and penciled in "Read"s next to the episodes, to track which ones I'd seen. It was so exciting, watching the eps on Retro, when they'd air one I hadn't seen (and so frustrating when they wouldn't air one I knew I'd seen).

The latest addition to my collection of pop culture clutter:
Bringing this back for the post Christmas purchases, I ended up getting two things. First, from Gamestop I got my first Funko figure,
The next thing was a bit different. This thing was something I found on Amazon. I knew about it and wasn't planning on ever getting it. But when I saw it on Amazon, for an very good price, my love of the Sixth Doctor conquered my dislike of the company that made the item and my usual lack of interest in this style of Doctor Who story
I got this brand new for $34.65 with free shipping directly from Amazon (I got free shipping because I also bought a DVD to spend enough to get free shipping). Because its Amazon, it got delivered today (a Sunday, and I ordered it on the 25th), because buying directly from Amazon can be awesome. If you want to buy it directly from Big Finish, at least in the US, it costs $66.77
So, I got it almost half off the big finish price, and it got delivered the Sunday after I ordered it. Also, Amazon the company was the only seller on Amazon.com that was selling and shipping this in the US, everyone else was (hugely expensive) UK sellers that ship from the UK.
When I saw it being sold by Amazon, I knew I had to get it. Now I have it, and it looks pretty awesome, at least when it comes to the physical release itself. The actual stories could be horrible, but even so I don't regret getting it. The Sixth Doctor is my favorite Doctor, so this feels like something I should have. I don't know when I'll get around to listening to it (probably soon, although I'm also listening to an audiobook and I might not want to mix my listening). Still, I consider it a pretty cool purchase as a Sixth Doctor fan.

Mostly I collect action figures (I own about 50 of the 5" ones and a few of the 12" Big Chief Studios ones). Then the DVD sets of course. There are also a few comics and yearbooks, the TARDIS lunch box (to carry around my action figures), some t-shirts (Exterminating in the rain, Procrastinate), the TARDIS plates, keyrings, the Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver and fob watch. I also have the bubble bath cyberman (gave the Dalek to my brother), the Jack Harkness Vortex manipulator (not the cheap toy, the expensive screen accurate prop one by Rubbertoe Replicas) and this:
