Books

This page lists practically all Doctor Who-related books ever published, dating all the way back to the mid-1960s. These range from books directly tied in to the show (and licenced by the BBC) to many "unofficial" books, or books tangentially related to the programme.

Scroll down for a list of all the latest books. By default, items up to 1 year old are listed, but you can select different periods of time stretching as far back as you like. If you'd rather browse a specific range of items, either choose a range from the right of this page, or use the Search or Quick Jump options at the top of the screen.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, all dates listed on this site are the UK release date. New releases can take a few weeks or longer to appear in the US and overseas.

 

Books listed by range:

BBC new series novels
A range of tie-in novels to accompany the new BBC TV series starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor.

BBC 8th Doctor books
Follow the adventures of Paul McGann's 8th Doctor after the 1996 TV movie with the BBC's series of original novels.

BBC Past Doctor books
Until recently, the BBC also published a regular series of "past Doctor" novels, featuring all-new non-televised adventures of the first 7 Doctors.

New Adventures
Virgin's long-running and much-missed series of non-televised novels, starring (mostly) the Seventh Doctor.

Missing Adventures
Just as the BBC subsequently published original "past Doctor" novels (see above), Virgin were the first to do so in the Missing Adventures, which appeared monthly between 1994 and 1997.

Target novelisations
The most well-known Doctor Who books — the long-running Target series of "classic series" TV novelisations.

Short story collections
Anthologies of short stories and short fiction related (directly or indirectly) to Doctor Who.

Script books
A selection of books containing the original scripts from Doctor Who TV stories and audio dramas.

Graphic novels
A selection of original graphic novels and collections of Doctor Who Magazine comic strips in paperback form.

Annuals
These slim hardback books containing a mixture of fact and fiction have been a staple of British childrens' Christmas stockings for decades.

Activity books
Colouring books, sticker books, postcard books, and any other type of book designed to be played with, torn up or written on instead of read.

Telos novellas
A series of officially-licenced Doctor Who novellas — longer than a short story, shorter than a novel and written by established authors.

Time Hunter novellas
A range of Doctor Who spin-off novellas which ran from 2003-2007, featuring a pair of time-travelling "fixers".

Bernice Summerfield books
Bernice, an ex-companion of the Doctor's from the New Adventures (see above) now stars in a semi-regular range of novels published by Big Finish.

Miscellaneous books
Doctor Who-related books by various publishers that don't fit into any of the above categories.
