This chronological guide to every Doctor Who episode, novel, and audio drama came out in late 2005, and I acquired it then. Of course, like one should with a reference book, I dipped in and out it as I wanted to know things, but I also started a straight readthrough when I first got it. Somewhere along the line, this stopped, but recently, the news of the forthcoming second edition of the book (which will add in the comic strips) caused me to go back to and attempt to finish from where I had left off, in the 1990s. The future history of Doctor Who actually makes for enjoyable reading; the various random pieces we've seen over the years fit together remarkably well into a coherent whole, showing as Earth rises, is invaded, falls, creates an Empire, falls, joins a Federation, and so on time and again.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0972595996, Paperback)

"AHistory" serves as the definitive (if unofficial) timeline to the whole of "Doctor Who," and incorporates nearly 500 full-length stories into a cohesive chronology. In short, this book indexes virtually every "Doctor Who" event worth nothing -- starting at the beginning of time and running through to the universe’s end. This guide is the vastly updated and revised successor to Parkin’s hugely acclaimed "A History of the Universe" (1996), and contains more than double the material of the original. All told, "AHistory" incorporates: More than four decades of the "Doctor Who" TV show, including the 2005 series starring Christopher Eccleston; all original "Doctor Who" novels up through "The Gallifrey Chronicles; all "Doctor Who" novellas from Telos and all "Doctor Who" audios from Big Finish up through "Terror Firma." This book is written by Lance Parkin, with additional reporting by Lars Pearson (the "I, Who" series).
