Pinnacle Books

Pinnacle Books was an American book publishing company. In 1979 and 1980 they published Americanised editions of ten Target Books novelisations.

Changes
Among the changes made to the books for American audiences:
 * New front-cover illustrations by David Mann were used, and new back-cover blurbs were written.
 * A new Doctor Who logo was created for the series, one never used on television.
 * The British text was Americanised. Colours became "colors," car bonnets became "hoods," and so on.  Additionally, references to UK-specific items not yet familiar to American readers were changed; for example the Doctor's jelly babies became "jelly beans."
 * The books were prefaced by brief bios of the story's Doctor and companions as well as an introduction by noted science fiction author Harlan Ellison. In his introduction Ellison proclaimed his own fandom of Doctor Who and explained some of the concepts behind the series.
