The Dalek Handbook was a 2011 reference book about the Dalek race.
Publisher's summary
The Dalek Handbook is your complete guide to the Doctor’s greatest enemies.
It explores the Daleks’ origins on the planet Skaro, how a Time Lord intervention altered the course of Dalek history, and how they emerged to wage war on Thals, Mechonoids, Draconians and humans.
It also reveals the secrets of Dalek design, the development of their iconic look and sound, and their enduring appeal on and off the screen.
With artwork and photographs from six decades of Doctor Who, "The Dalek Handbook" is the ultimate celebration of all things Dalek.
