Note: Numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. A collection of one hundred “drabbles” (100-word short stories or poems) themed around the subject of Doctor Who, in aid of the RNIB Talking Book Library.
As mentioned in the cover blurb, this was the third (and last) collection of drabbles produced by Beccon Publications — the first two (non-Who related, so not listed in this site) were the sci-fi themed The Drabble Project in 1988, and Drabble II: Double Century in 1990.
