The Sixth Doctor Who Dictionary is a gen nonfiction resource, a compendium, for the show. It was compiled and edited by Paul Scoones and Jon Preddle. The front cover art is by Mark Roach and Neil Lambess.

From the publisher, "This was the only completed volume of a planned set that was to have covered every Doctor. Jon Preddle had filled a number of exercise books with handwritten encyclopedia-style entries of places, people and things, divided into each Doctor's era. Paul Scoones and Jon Preddle collaborated on getting this research published, referring to the series as 'Dictionaries' to avoid confusion with an already existing Doctor Who encyclopedia. The first volume was to have been The Third Doctor Who Dictionary, but work was postponed and later abandoned when, half-way through the book it was realised the the research for this era was rather incomplete. Preddle and Scoones instead turned their attention to the Sixth Doctor's era simply because it was the shortest and therefore most manageable. In addition to the encyclopedic entries, the book also contained sections of background information on the era. In 1993 a copy of the book was requested as source material by one of the authors of Virgin Publishing's The Handbook - The Sixth Doctor."
