Notable Features
- This stunningly beautiful hardback volume, complete with an embedded blue glass Dalek eye on the cover, conforms to the publisher (Dorling Kindersley)'s usual high standard of visual guides, offering annotated and cut-away photographs/illustrations throughout.
- The attention to detail is impressive, even including the exhibits in Henry van Stattens collection.
- The fold-out "Inside the TARDIS" pages are themselves both stunning and, for the first time ever, reveals the concept drawings of the whole TARDIS in all its Sceptre-shaped glory, and it includes the "Nerve Centre" (aka console) layout.
Notes
- This book doesn't give information on any monsters from Series 3 apart from the Judoon and the Plasmavore.
