TIME & SPACE VISUALISER
Wonderful Books — 120 pages — print — art book
In this, the first commercially published title from Wonderful Books, Paul Smith examines the story and history of Doctor Who through a series of eye-catching data visualisations. This is the show like you've never seen it before, using charts and diagrams to present a wealth of information that's usually only available as numbers and lists. With detailed notes discussing the context of the data, how it was compiled and what it reveals.
Fully researched, compiled, visualised and designed by Paul Smith@Wonderful Books

DR WHO 8th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
Self-published — 36 pages — print — fanzine
For my follow-up to The Wonderful Book, I produced this homage to the Radio Times 1973 Dr Who 10th Anniversary Special, again mimicking the design but with fresh content covering the modern series of Doctor Who. This time I commissioned comment pieces and artwork from other fans to add more diversity, rather than having it all written by me. The printed magazine is available to buy from the link below.

THE WONDERFUL BOOK OF DR WHO 1965
Self-published — 56 pages — e-zine and print — humour
An homage to BBC Books' The Brilliant Book of Doctor Who 2011, this takes the same approach to content and mimics the design in looking at this original first year of Doctor Who. A mix of factual and fictional notes about each episode, plus tongue-in-cheek behind-the-scenes features and interviews, written as if the book had been published for Christmas 1964. Initially published online, a small number of print copies were produced, with a second print run now available.
