W H Smith

W H Smith was a British retailer which distributed two limited edition box sets of Doctor Who episodes for BBC Video which were exclusive to their shops. These included The Davros Collection in 2001, The Time Lord Collection in 2002, and The Dalek Collection in 2005.

In 1994 W H Smith refused to stock the novel Goth Opera based on its planned cover illustration, which portrayed Nyssa as a vampire with a large amount of blood on her clothes. Since W H Smith were the UK's largest book retailer, Virgin Books chose to address their concerns and edit most of the blood out of the cover image before publication.
