John Smith gave the book to Joan Redfern, who apparently annotated it with a detailed chronicle of her love story with a strange visitor from beyond the stars. In the 21st century, this annotated version of the book fell in possession of her great grand daughter, Verity Newman, who published it as a partial biography of Joan herself. The dying Doctor visited the first book signing, giving away his identity by naming himself as "The Doctor" (since Verity had recognized the name used by Joan to describe her alien lover). He then asked Verity about Joan, going away to meet his final fate after being assured of Joans ultimate happiness in life. (DW: The End of Time)

Behind the scenes

An actual, intricately-illustrated prop book was created for the filming. Later, Character Options, which held some of the rights to release toys and merchandise based upon the series, issued a faux leather-bound reproduction of the book.
