Cover blurb:
This lavish, highly illustrated Visual Dictionary reveals all the secrets of the intrepid Doctor and his world.

Incredibly detailed cross-section artworks expose the inner workings of the Dalek Emperor’s Flagship, the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver and the space-time vortex at the heart of the TARDIS!

Detailed, annotated photographs provide unique insights into the characters, aliens, robots, technology and weapons.

Discover the dark secrets of Daleks, Cybermen, Sycorax, clockwork robots, blood-sucking Plasmavores and rhino-headed Judoon police.

Note:  Updated with additional content compared to the original UK edition. It is very unusual for a non-fiction new series book to have a separate US edition (this is the only one I’m aware of so far), however it’s readily available from Amazon.co.uk and other online retailers.

Cover blurb:
Just who is... The Doctor?

Find out in this updated guide to his world

Now updated with more aliens, more gadgets and more wonders from across time and space.
