THE book the Time Lords (including the Doctor) read when studying at the Academy, the full-color in-world history that pieces together the true story of Gallifrey from the many and contradictory accounts that survived the Last Great Time War.

Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time Lords tells the story of all of this ancient, legendary civilization, of notable historical figures, of Gallifrey itself, of the Time War and much more. The planet Gallifrey. The Shining World of the Seven Systems. Often to be found in the constellation of Kasterborous. Birthplace of one of the oldest civilizations in the universe: The Time Lords.

From their technologies and strategies to the renegades like the Master and the Doctor himself, this is the definitive guide to the oldest and most powerful civilization in the universe. They invented black holes, transmits, stellar manipulators, and they atrophied. A bunch of elderly academics in funny hats, the Time Lords watched the whole history of creation. This was the civilization that inflicted some of its most renowned and deadly renegades and criminals on the universe: the Master, the Rani, the Monk, the War Chief, yet it was also the benevolent power that rid the cosmos of the Great Vampires, the Racnoss and the Fendahl.

Featuring full-color, never-before-seen illustrations and a beautiful interior design, this is a highly collectible in-world companion no Whovian can be without.

Title: Superb book. Ideal for fellow Whovians.
Review: Wonderful illustrations and beautifully atmospheric photographs. I love the writing style. Fascinating and impeccably researched. With a reassuring very slight tongue in cheek approach. Just in case I should take myself and my obsession too seriously. A great resource for anyone wanting to write about our fave Doctor. A complete winner as far as I am concerned. Oh yes and the cover is so beautifully designed I have it out on display on my Steampunk Who display shelf.

Title: Great source of canon, great artwork
Review: Loads of information about all things Time Lordish! Spans all the Doctor Who series, which is the main reason I love it. GREAT source of canon! I've learned a lot about the Time Lords, considering how long Doctor Who history has gone on -- very hard for a relatively new Whovian like me to glean all the info over a relatively short time. Great artwork too (in the print edition, which I also have).

Title: A Quick Read of their history...sort of.
Review: The Doctor fascinates me to no end. He drops hints of his past across multiple incarnations and where he came from but that is what they are, hints. Here it is all pulled together and summarized, think of it like a Cliff Notes version. And it's so much bigger on the inside and the story is still going.......

Title: Introduction to the beginning of Dr. Who
Review: It was pretty good and gave me some history of what went on before..Since I am a pretty new fan (started watching the 13th incarnation -a woman) who I adore by the way. I didn't know anything except he/she was the last of the time lords/ and something happened to all the others..I liked the pics But I'm not sure the pics corresponded to the descriptions..Some pics were of women but described as a male and vice versa which was very confusing to a newbie like me..This is one of the reasons I gave it a 4..plus sentences were repeated over and over again which was quite annoying. As a fast introduction into the Dr. Who mythos it does sort of fit the bill. As the above states it could have been a bit clearer on the characters/labeling would have been nice on some pics..I am glad I read it though and probably will read it again cause it was alot of info to wrap my head around lol.So unless U watched this series from the beginning or have lots of moola to watch all the episodes this is a beginner point.

Title: Dr. Who must have
Review: Really great book for any Doctor Who fan. It's loaded with really great pictures and goes through the history of the time lords so I thought it was really cool. The cover of the book is really nice and the gold lettering and art looks great. More than worth the money.

Review: Con respecto al libro, como no es para mí sino un regalo, solo puedo decir que se vé muy bien, pero con respecto a la entrega quisiera hacer el comentario que fué muy confusa porque en el aviso de paquete entregado decía que se había entregado en la recepción (cosa que no hay en mi condominio). Pregunte a los vigilantes del condominio y a ellos no les entregaron nada. Hablé a servicio al cliente y me dijeron que había habido un error de escaneo y que la entrega todavía estaba pendiente. Y entonces me quedé tranquilo esperando la entrega.Varías horas después vino una de mis vecinas con el paquete. El paquete se lo entregaron a una vecina, pero como en el aviso de entrega decía que se entregó en la recepción no se me ocurrió preguntar a mis vecinos. Por eso digo que la entrega fué muy confusa.
