'''''Doctor Who Quiz Book''''' was the name of a series of four paperback books published in 1982 and 1983 by [[Magnet Books]], a subsidiary of Methuen Children's Books. Designed to look like the [[Target Books]] novelisations - complete with the use of a photograph of [[Peter Davison]] as the [[Fifth Doctor]] on the cover of each, in keeping with the then-standard cover practice at Target - these are in fact mini-novels. Each chapter tells an original short story featuring the Fifth Doctor, [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] (with [[Vislor Turlough]] replacing Nyssa in ''[[Doctor Who Quiz Book of Space]]''), setting up a short quiz related to the topic at hand.
