The Dalek Pocketbook and Space Travellers Guide

The Dalek Pocketbook and Space Travellers Guide, published in 1965, was an early Doctor Who spin-off book written by Terry Nation and featuring his creations, the Daleks. The book was written in two parts: the first half was about the Daleks, while the second half was a non-fiction section about astronomy.

Publisher's summary
How does a Dalek obtain motive energy when it leaves its own planet? Can a Dalek swim? This is the book - the only book with all the answers, compiled and presented by Terry Nation, the man who discovered and translated the fantastic Dalek Chronicles.
