Books Time Lords have read.

[warmcanofcoke]

After looking at http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=3592 I began to wonder what other books were in the Doctor's library.
Here are some photo references- hopefully enough to identify the edition of the books or recreate the books that don't actually exist.

The Master reads War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells in Frontier in Space (1973).



The Doctor reads Origins of the Universe by Oolon Colluphid in Destiny of the Daleks (1979).
Oolon Colluphid is best known for his trilogy of philosophical blockbusters Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes, and Who is the God Person Anyway?.





The Doctor thumbs through Débat Sur La France De Demain by Jacques Rigaud in City of Death (1979).



The Doctor reads The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter (I didn't actually see the title or hear the book's name, Sorry if it is misidentified.) in Creature from the Pit (1979).


The Doctor reads a red mountaineering book apparently in Tibetan - Creature from the Pit (1979).
Everest in Easy Stages http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Everest_in_Easy_Stages



The Doctor reads Teach Yourself Tibetan - Creature from the Pit (1979).





Tardis Handbook : Type 40 - Horns of the Nimon (1979)


Professor Chronotis reads The Time Machine by H.G.Wells in Shada (1979/1980).


The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey - Shada (1979/1980).

remember the Tardis Handbook : Type 40 - Horns of the Nimon (1979)

well this is the Tardis Type 40 Handbook - Vengeance on Varos (1985)

Looks like the handbook's chameleon circuit was just as prone to "shifting" as the TARDIS's.

 

[doctorwho8]

Or the Doctor grabbed several editions before he left Gallifrey.  Or the TARDIS makes a new one when the Doctor tosses a copy into the vortex.

Ian Chesterton was seen reading a book called "Monsters from Outer Space" in the Chase.

here is a screen grab and a mock up I created of the front cover

 

[warmcanofcoke]

Really Cool silverfox  

Melody Malone - The Angels Take Manhattan (2012)

 

[rassilonsrod]

Really nice mockup

Are you going to do the spine so we can have a full wraparound?

 

[scarfwearer]

I seem to recall Cushing's Doctor reading a comic in one of the sixties dalek films. Does that count? (not exactly a book, as such...) Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot.

Crispin

 

[warmcanofcoke]

I think you can add that to the Time Lord Library Crispin  

 

[warmcanofcoke]

The Doctor's 500 year Diary - Power of the Daleks (1966)

 

[warmcanofcoke]

For Crispin

Dr Who and the Daleks (1965)




the comic is dated the 20th of march 1965

[warmcanofcoke]

The Doctor's 900 Year Diary- The Enemy Within (1996)


The Time Machine by H.G.Wells- The Enemy Within (1996)

I would have thought the Doctor would have gotten around to reading this thing by now ....

 

[warmcanofcoke]

A couple of the Doctor's old Time Logs - The Keeper of Traken (1981)

 

[warmcanofcoke]

The Daily Mirror - The Invasion of Time (1978)


Tuesday April 16th(?) 1912

Can't make out the actual day - but if the Titanic sunk in the middle of the night (11:40 pm ships time) on the 14th I doubt it would have been in the papers the next day. Plus that doesn't look like A "15".
