The Story Behind This Book

After publishing bio-quotations books on James Bond and Fred Astaire, the world's favourite Time Lord Doctor Who was a natural fit Blue Eyed Books' "Quotable" series. Not only was Doctor Who ripe for such a quotations based book but there proved to be too much content for one book and four volumes are now planned to do full justice to the Dr Who phenomenon and the media / fan interest that surrounds it.
