Two small paperbacks next to each other, both Doctor Who Target novelisations by Terrance Dicks: "The Destiny of the Daleks," which shows a man with a mop of curly hair and a scarf looking thoughtful surrounded by daleks; and "Four to Doomsday" which shows a man in edwardian cricketing garbage in front of an alien humanoid creature sitting on a throne-like chair.

New reads: two Target novelisations found in a charity shop - one of those rare times when I've found some I didnt already have in the wild!

Kinda is possibly the only televised Doctor Who to get this butchered by its own novelization. Dicks either didn't understand Bailey's script or couldn't care less.
