December 19th, 2013 - 12:11amYes there is def a pdf download I got it earlier today myself.

December 18th, 2013 - 5:31pmI think the news item should be revised as this isn’t a download, but simply an online version like you get with Google books. I suppose someone could make a PDF out of it using screen captures but that’s a bit too much effort.

December 18th, 2013 - 5:36pmHi,
The book can be downloaded from Issuu as a PDF. I’m not totally sure but you may need to join the site to download it.
Otherwise you can view it in the Issuu browser. It would cost money to host the book as a direct download as a PDF. I tried this and demand exceeded the traffic limit on the download and caused it to have a dizzy fit. As the book is free I cannot really justify monthly hosting costs.
I hope you enjoy the book in whatever format you able to view it in. 🙂
Regards,
J

Ryan
December 18th, 2013 - 1:46pmI can’t work out how I actually download it – all I can do is read it. Is it not possible to download and keep it?
KORSAIR
December 18th, 2013 - 2:08pmI’m stumped with this one, I was hoping it would be a pdf download. So I could print off a hard copy.

December 16th, 2013 - 9:28amHey everyone,
The book is finally finished – hurrah! At the moment it is awaiting a final review from the editorial team to make sure that there are no last minute text errors and that the formatting is as good as possible.
I will be releasing the book on Tuesday afternoon (17-12-13). It will probably up for download by early evening time (UK).
I hope that you enjoy the book. The download is FREE and a lot of work and effort went into its creation. There will be a donation link in the book to my chosen charity – Cancer Reseach.

December 17th, 2013 - 4:53pmThe link has broken due to an excessive amount of traffic. Hmmm… I need to rethink this. Sorry for the problem and I hope that some of you got to see it!
I will have to find a new way to host the book.

December 17th, 2013 - 5:42pmI found a set of flickr pages from the book, how much of the book is here?http://www.flickr.com/photos/28344090@N02/sets/72157626129470252/detail/
Jay Gunn
December 17th, 2013 - 8:42pmOnly fragments. The book is way more than just those images. The demand was very high and the link broke. We’re working on a solution.

Babyjelly
December 5th, 2013 - 1:31pmLiz Shaw, the Jo Grant on the console room, the console and Bessie are customs. Close up of Jo is the released figure. The Wirrn is a custom (it’s incredible).

December 5th, 2013 - 1:26pmHello
The book has been created by Jay Gunn and features entries by other contributors who will be referenced in the ending of the book. The book uses released and custom figures, set in dioramas.
The book is free, but the contributors would appreciate a donation to a cancer charity if those who read and enjoy the book are willing to oblige.
The book has been complied by a man who has incredible art direction skills and it will be simply stunning!

December 5th, 2013 - 7:26pmThis would look great as a proper book, alongside some of the LEGO books out there that do similar things with other stories ( not DW )

Dalek the Supreme
December 3rd, 2013 - 5:00pmI do hope we see this sometime, it looks amazing. Also, it would be great if Character Options released some of the (As far as I know) unofficial figures in this book, especially the TARDIS console room.
Dalek Sec
December 5th, 2013 - 6:55amAs for now we will just have to resort to the aft downloads tardis console. 🙁

GUY NEWMOUNTAIN
January 3rd, 2013 - 8:54amHi: can’t wait for this to come out, it looks absolutely terrific and, complete with diamond logo on the pages, hits the perfect note of nostalgia! Don’t take this the wrong way, but before its release, could you make use of any free proof-reading? No obligation to act on my findings; but as a Graphics teacher, I see the impact/authority of strong artwork weakened daily by stuff Spellcheck didn’t pick up. Few here to see, but it would be a pity if any crept into this superb project (is “volvanic” eruption correct?) I’d need bigger scans though!
Dr Who Monster Toy Book
January 10th, 2013 - 11:43pmThanks for the offer, it is very appreciated! I have a couple of proof readers who have been going through the text. Those pages samples were early test images and not proof read (probably should have been). I was too eager to get the word out about the project. 🙂
Unfortunately due to my PC dying over Christmas (great timing) it has delayed the project for a few weeks as I get everything back up and running again. Thankfully most of the pages were finished but the final edit and formatting takes a very long time.

December 28th, 2012 - 9:54amIs this out now? If it is, can someone put a link on where to get it please?
