Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
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.
Here, by arrangement with BBC tv, is a Dalek encyclopaedia and dictionary. The only Dalek reference book which includes anti-dalek precautions and a completely authentic space-travellers' guide.
