Dicks, Terrance “The Adventures of Doctor Who” [Nelson Doubleday, 1979]

DICKS, Terrance. The Adventures of Doctor Who.

Garden City, New York: Nelson Doubleday, Inc., 1979. Book club edition. 8vo. Publisher’s quarter red cloth over gray paper-covered boards, in original illustrated dust jacket featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor with Daleks, Cybermen, and Davros. Collects Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks, Doctor Who and the Revenge of the Cybermen, and Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster, with an introduction by Harlan Ellison. Light shelfwear only; binding tight and square, jacket bright and unfaded with minor edge wear. Near Fine.

An attractive early American omnibus of three of Terrance Dicks’ best-known novelizations from the Tom Baker era, bringing together some of the most iconic villains in the Doctor Who universe—Daleks, Cybermen, and Davros—in a single volume. The striking dust jacket makes this one of the more visually appealing Doctor Who book club editions of the period, and copies in this condition remain increasingly difficult to find.
