Cover blurb
MEET THE MONSTERS AND THEIR MAKERS - OVER 200 OF THE DOCTOR'S GREATEST FOES BROUGHT TOGETHER IN ONE BOOK.

EXTERMINATE!

They lumbered through space, lurched from the sea, slimed along ventilator shafts and even visited St Paul's Cathedral. They were the scourge of the Doctor's many lives: they were the monsters.

Sending millions of children scurrying behind the sofa each week, Doctor Who has been host to some of the most weird and wonderful species ever to emerge from the imagination. Daleks, Ice Warriors, Sea Devils, Cybermen... whether they dreamed of intergalactic conquest or simply wanted to survive, the Doctor has met them all. A Book of Monsters takes you behind the scenes of Doctor Who to meet the monsters and their makers.

Packed with rare pre-production design drawings and photographs, and including candid comments and recollections from those people who actually devised, created and played the monsters, A Book of Monsters is a celebration of the many talents which brought Doctor Who's greatest foes to the television screen. Also featured are several exclusive original story outlines, showing how many favourite stories started life; and the original scripted descriptions of the monsters are revealed as we explore the rubber and latex-filled world of the monster makers.

As well as intimate profiles of some of the Doctor's greatest enemies, there are more than 200 alien creatures, robots, beasts, mutants and plants featured in this extensive illustrated guide to Doctor Who's monsters.

A Book of Monsters is the indispensable guide to the horrors found in the many worlds of Doctor Who.
