Will they make the books run on time?

The official BBC website has the interesting news that the first three Tenth Doctor books (plus the ‘quick read’ book for younger ages I am a Dalek) will be coming to Canada and the US in April—at the same time as the UK.

Now this is interesting news to us, as last time we looked, we only just received here in Canada September‘s Ninth Doctor books in the past month or so. Does this mean with a new deal with Sci-Fi Channel, the BBC now has the collective might (or a good reason) to get Diamond to better distribute these tomes in a more timely manner? Or have they inked a deal with another distributor?

More importantly, would this mean seeing Doctor Who getting out of the specialty shop ghetto and into actual Chapters, Indigos, Barnes & Nobles and Borders across the continent?

This is one situation where time will actually tell.

Doctor Who books in stores!?!

Those were the days. Didn’t need no welfare state, everybody pulled their weight… sorry wrong show.

Anyhow the CBC website said a similar thing months ago and that didn’t happen so let’s hope there’s something to this.
