Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
The Doctor Who Monster Book was a Doctor Who reference book published by Target Books.

- The Second Doctor Who Monster Book was later released covering the further adventures of the Fourth Doctor.
