Gallifreyan Books and Bookends


A selection of books that I figured the Doctor might have, with Gallifreyan bookends. I made it using Corel PhotoPaint, trying to figure out brush types, etc. No reference (except for book names), entirely digital, no scanning involved. The books are as follows:

Black Orchid (by George Cranleigh): the Fifth Doctor received this book as a gift at the end of "Black
        Orchid".
Book of Rassilon: Initially I was going to do the book the Professor lost in "Shada" (4th Doctor), but by the
        time I had looked up the actual name, I'd already given it this name. And every Time Lord needs
        something "... of Rassilon"!
TARDIS Journal: the one Eleven uses to record his and River's adventures.
The New Universe: these three I entirely invented, seemed like he might have a couple spacey books on
        hand from his University days that he'd forgotten to throw away.
Journal of Impossible Things: not the one the chameleon-arched Ten writes, but rather the one that Joan
        Redfern's great-granddaughter publishes in The End of Time, one of which Ten buys and gets signed.
The Complete Poetry of John Milton: according to the novelization of "Logopolis", Four gives Adric this
        book to read while he's busy (fiddling with the TARDIS, etc.)
Flight in the Space/Time Vortex (by Romanaveractalunda): another one I made up, just seemed like
        Romana (companion of Four) would write some technical book like that. :-)
