Well, The Book of the War is interesting is that it has the format of what looks like an ordinary encyclopedia (including entries which don't seem to be narrative), but when taken in its totality, serves to tell the complete story of the War — e.g., one entry will be a wholly narrative account of a mysterious event, and fifty pages later you'll find a present-tense description of a bit of technobabble which makes you retrospectively understand what was going on then. That sort of thing.

So it sounds to me like TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manul could possibly be doing a similar thing — a nonlinear biography of Sexy, as told through the various logs and amendments and footnotes of her instruction manual. But it's hard to judge from just the preview whether that is the case, or if the collection of data is just that.
