Notable features

 * This well-illustrated hardback volume, complete with an embedded blue glass Dalek eye on the cover, conforms to the publisher (Dorling Kindersley)'s usual high standard of visual guides, offering annotated and cut-away photographs/illustrations throughout.
 * The attention to detail is impressive, even including the exhibits in Henry van Statten's collection.
 * The fold-out "Inside the TARDIS" pages are themselves stunning and, for the first time ever, reveal the concept drawings of the whole TARDIS in all its sceptre-shaped glory, and include the "Nerve Centre" (aka console) layout.
