The book will be large format (180mm x 260mm), full colour throughout and around 200 pages. The Restoration Team's Steve Roberts has written a foreword.

As with the magazine, the book contains adult themes and isn't intended for children.

Fanzine Preservation Project

Saturday, 17 January 2004 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
The Earthbound Timelords group, an online Doctor Who literary/educational collection, has embarked on the Doctor Who Fanzine Preservation Project. The goal of the Project is to save old Doctor Who fanzines from the garbage cans and dust bins and to try to preserve as many as possible for the long term use of Doctor Who researchers and historians. The EBTL site link features the goals and mission of the project. Keeping records of the history of Doctor Who fandom may not seem important to some at first, but this sort of archiving is extremely useful and Outpost Gallifrey fully supports it; check out the site and let them know if you can help!
