It's the original standard version published in the UK. There was an adult version with a different cover published simultaneously.
(Source – Did the whole "queueing at midnight" thing. NO SPOILERS FOR ME.)
EDIT: the reason of course that the cover and title weren't shown in "The Shakespeare Code" is because TSC was filmed during August and September 2006, and HPatDH wasn't published until 21st July 2007. The title wasn't even announced until December 2006. Timey-wimey!

The TARDIS manual was a challenge. As a concept it was great; the reality of doing it was that it was quite a canonical thing to do so there was a lot of discussion about how it would look. Michael had a bit of a fetish for old Rolls-Royce's (of course) having owned a few vintage ones (of course), so he was adamant that it should look like the hardback owner's manual; "because the Rolls Royce is a proper automobile, unlike a DeLorean car". So he got that. I spent about 5 days writing up pages and pages and pages of detailed English flight control operations for it out of my own head, before the producers decided it should just be in Gallifreyan. The back plate is laser-cut acrylic; I suspect it's a detail I put on to match metal plates on other manuals I'd seen. I went down to the DW Museum to photograph their console for the manual pages (which we would then use on that set)

Despite the effort, I think it was better that it was in Gallifreyan; this sort of stuff doesn't need to be written down (and scrutinised) and the tone of what I'd written was completely wrong in mind; but I don't know what would be right. I've since done manuals like this for Red Dwarf and that's a much better use of the idea.
