The book is written as an in-universe book, despite appearing to be out of universe. If it was just a reference book, we wouldn't be able to include it anyway.

Out of interest, I read over the Heaven Sent section from the book. It's written from the author's point of view (see Boy (Heaven Sent)), and he never mentions the Woman from that story in his account, just all the "get off my planet" stuff when Rassilon turns up all guns blazing. But it does say the Doctor once lived at his house "the barn", so that's going on his article right now!
