This was truly, deeply amazing and I advise it to everyone who loves Doctor Who. This had all sorts of information I'd never seen before. Endless picture.s Lists of the rooms. Lists of everyone's reaction. Lists of everything that had ever been pushed, prodded, or tossed out as broken/fixed. It was this giddy making toil through a truly deeply beautiful span of fifty years (Or maybe 49, since it was missing references to the last season and half).
Everyone who loves Who should do this now!

A look at the Tardis from the beginning. The Tardis as a set and how it changed through the years. Also a look at the changes in the Tardis’ abilities and the Doctor’s understanding of it.

I'm not always enthused by the various Who spinoff publications, BBC or otherwise, but this one is a real winner (and I should say that in general I've been more than satisfied with Steve Tribe's work). Here we have the TARDIS examined from all angles, its non-fictional inspiration in the drafts of C.E. "Bunny" Webber, the designs of Peter Brachacki and his successors, and the various ways it has been used in the show, from both in-universe and external perspectives. It was published in 2010, just nicely in time for The Doctor's Wife the following year. It's fully but not obsessively detailed and gorgeously illustrated.

I really enjoyed reading the history of The Doctor's companions. Not only does this book fill in holes from the 1960's - 1989 version of the series, but it helps to enlighten certain aspects of the New Who. This book was very thorough (including a list of every DW episode made!) and fun to read. It's not an encyclopedia but more of a comprehensive guide to everyone who has helped The Doctor along the way. Great photos included as well.
