How to be a Time Lord was the first book in the Official Guides series, published on 2 December 2014[source needed] by BBC Children's Books, written by Craig Donaghy, and illustrated by Dan Green and Folko Streese. The book was stylised as an in-universe guide on how to be a Time Lord, "improved" by the Eleventh Doctor with his own notes and illustrations.

Publisher's summary

This is the definitive guide on how to be a Time Lord written by the ancient Time Lords but hilariously improved/sabotaged by the Eleventh Doctor as a gift for his successor, the Twelfth Doctor. Throughout the factual Time Lord sections, the Doctor has crossed things out, added funny scribbles, silly doodles and post-it notes. The central section has been ripped out by an impatient Doctor and replaced with far more important/interesting stuff such as how to correctly wear a fez or dip a fish finger into custard, and other crucial things about how to be a time-travelling hero just like him.
