Now obviously this quote was written about The Book of the War, and not TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual. But I'd argue the latter has more of a narrative than the former. Admittedly I have not read The Book of the War, but from what I can gather it is an encyclopedia.

Perhaps we who haven't read The Book of the War shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the narrative elements in it. I don't care to spend the absurd money to get a copy of it, but, uh, given that entries in the book will switch to a character talking to you part way through and these interjections apparently ultimately form something of a narrative as well, I think the argument is far weaker than you're suggesting.
