This is a section for Dragon Ball translations. Here, I'm going to be providing complete text translations of many of the various Japanese Dragon Ball guidebooks. You probably won't find many scans of said books here, but I think the information presented here should be rather interesting regardless.

Daizenshuu

After the final chapter of the Dragon Ball manga ran in Weekly Shounen Jump, Shueisha began to publish large guidebooks for the series called "daizenshuu," meaning "big complete collections." There were seven hardcover books consecutively released between mid 1995 and early 1996, followed by three more softcover books throughout the rest of 1996. These books had limited publication runs, and have thus been out of print for over a decade.

GT Perfect Files

In 1997, as the third anime series, Dragon Ball GT, finished up its run, Shueisha published two small softcover guidebooks for the series. They were known as "Perfect Files," and were later re-released in 2006.
