A Box of Coolness

by

Remember how I mentioned the other day that I am now the proud owner of a box of Doctor Who coolness? Well, let me give you a better idea of what I’m talking about. (All hail Michael for giving this stuff to me.)

Okay, here’s a sort of top view of the magazine stack. I’m currently in the process of organizing all of this. Hey. I’m a Librarian. What do you expect?

This side view gives you a better idea of how big the stacks actually are. …And a lovely picture of part of my knee.

In case you were wondering, that is in fact Jon Pertwee’s autograph. Yes! Now I have both the 2nd and the 3rd Doctors’ autographs.

I even received three 45s of coolness. Now I just need my husband to fix that speed on my record player.

Anyway, at some point I obviously need to have a contest, as I have a few duplicate Classic Who magazines now. I’ll have to come up with something fun. Perhaps for the 2nd anniversary of this blog in November. Hmmm…

There you go. This way we are guaranteed bits of flashback fun during the Who drought.
