Very, detailed A-Z photo-filed guide to creatures, planets, people, etc. from the new series of Doctor Who. The downside is that it only covers series 1 - 3, not 4 (the end of the Tenth Doctor). Other than that, it's an intense read and very, very detailed.
Being the huge nerd I am, I literally screamed for about an hour after unwrapping this on my birthday. It gives a thorough insight into the world of Doctor Who and I can't even describe how much I love it! And I practically read all 400 pages in one or two sittings.
I'm a new Dr. Who fan. I started watching the New Adventures with Matt Smith. I was familiar with the show from the 70's and Tom Baker's days, but this book is helping me catch up.
This book only covers the New Adventures in the 21st Century.

This was so accurate and hardly missed anything. If you spot an object in an episode of Doctor Who that didn't get a mention in this book, you deserve a medal.

My only complaint is that it doesn't include season 4 or any subsequent specials, but then they are still in production. A fun book for fans of the new series.
Not too bad, though I'd prefer it if BBC printed a volume every Doctor. Not just the last three.
i got this book at a bookstore for $39.00. money worth spent? i think so
Wow.
Because I only had it from the library for a limited time, I read this book less like an Encyclopedia where you look things up when you're curious about them, and more like a real book. I read it all the way through, entry by entry, and it was really fun to do.
1- Gary Russel clearly ships Rose/Ten
2- The pictures were GORGEOUS
3- It actually explained some stuff I hadn't quite understood from series 5-6.

Very detailed about the recent seasons of Doctor Who, but a bit confusing with none of the photos being captioned.
My only complaint with this book was that there wasn't as much Rose stuff in there as there was the other companions. Shame... Otherwise, a nice, carefree read about one of my favorite shows

Won't tell you a whole lot new, and sadly, little about the series before 2005. But for those fans out there who want to know every single detail? This is a good choice for you!
