The framing device was that the book's near-publication by [[Garden Tower Publishing]] was suppressed by Torchwood themselves to preserve their secrecy, leading to the presence of multiple notes from [[Ianto Jones]] — as the text of the book was suggested to be a facsimile of the only surviving copy, as held within Torchwood's own archives.
* This book is written from an in-universe perspective.
* It is presented as a scrapbook of the notes for publication by one [[Warren Martyn]] submitted to the commissioning editor at Garden Tower Publishing, a [[Mr M. Clayton]]. The notes were acquired by Torchwood and with an introductory warning, (and notes throughout) from [[Ianto Jones]], serves as a reminder that security at Torchwood should never be compromised.

The Torchwood Archives was a Torchwood novel. It retold the events of the TV series up until Exit Wounds, via the narrative device of an in-universe exposé on Torchwood Three's activities, created by one Warren Martyn.

The framing device was that the book's near-publication by Garden Tower Publishing was suppressed by Torchwood themselves to preserve their secrecy, leading to the presence of multiple notes from Ianto Jones — as the text of the book was suggested to be a facsimile of the only surviving copy, as held within Torchwood's own archives.
