Is there such a type of book as this?

and can anyone recommend any please?

I can't think of any off the top of my head but after I read "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman, (A fantasy trilogy for teenagers requiring a bit more thought than Harry Potter.) I found a book called 'The Science of His Dark Materials' which explained (and proved possible) many of the things in the book from a scientific angle which was pretty educational.

If you're into Dark Matter, Daemonology, Particle Physics etc, then this is the book for you.

ah cool cheers i'll look into it, not really the subject im looking for but searching might uncover some further reading.

I find most novels educational in a way. Do you mean educational as in the strict academic definition of the word?

I find all novels educational in a gramatical way at least but im talking about educational as in teaching you how to do things.

An example of this would be - a law novel teaching you something about the law instead of going too indepth with lovey dovey stuff
