Additional Notes
- 2006 was a good year for lovers of Annuals.
- Following the runaway success of the Doctor Who Annual 2006 (from Panini), the BBC, keen to market the Doctor Who brand itself, renegotiated the Annual rights.
- The BBC had earlier that year launched its own fortnightly magazine title Doctor Who Adventures aimed at a young persons market, while Panini's monthly title Doctor Who Magazine, which was aimed at older readers (having itself matured from its weekly comic format for children). Doctor Who was in the unique position of offering two regular television tie-in comic-strip/magazines.
In order to appeal to both audiences, the decision to issue the license to produce two annuals, was made.
Panini were granted the license to produce a hardback annual that concentrated solely on fiction for an older age group than the one published by BBC Children's Books. To distinguish between the titles the BBC retained the rights to publish the Doctor Who Official Annual 2007, while Panini published the Doctor Who Storybook. (Both titles incidentally including a full page advert for their respective regular title. - So as not to make the Storybook any less `official`than the BBC's offering, the Storybook was allowed to use the BBC logo on the cover and a box stating "Published with permission of the BBC" was found on the back.
- The introduction, by way of 'A letter from the Doctor' is a direct lift from the first and very early issues of Doctor Who Weekly (as Doctor Who Magazine was formerly known as), even down to the Doctor's signature at the end. This time around the letter was, as dictated to by Russell T. Davies.
- The Stoybook was issued with a dustcover that inside the front flap had a short piece "The Changing Face of Doctor Who", and in the back flap a short piece on each of the featured writers accompanied by a small photo.
