Wonderful Books — 240 pages — print — guidebook
The original Doctor Who Programme Guide by Jean-Marc Lofficier, published in 1981, was a seminal work in the history of Doctor Who books. It was updated in 1989 to cover the end of the Classic Series, and now this new edition from Wonderful Books continues its legacy for the New Series. It provides the same clear, concise and compact rundown of every episode and mini-episode in the same size and format as the 1989 edition.

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.

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.
