I’ve seen this book for sale online only once, at least 6 years ago. It showed up on Ebay for a pretty reasonable price but sold before I could load the money into my Paypal. I haven’t seen another copy since and thought I would never see it again.

The seller showed a few pages from it and one of them showed that cool cut-out visor thing used for viewing the 3-D images. that’s what made me want to buy it.

It’s cool because you can see a image of it already folded together on page-13, and as you can see it looks like it fits perfectly over those black rectangular in-game screenshots. I’d keep it attached to the book though because it would be easy to trace it and make one yourself if you ever just wanted to see what the images were all about, or better yet just print out the scan and cut it out and you’ll have one just for viewing the book.

Really cool find!

According to my friend in Japan, this book was bundled with a magazine called Dengeki Super Famicon. He tells me that this is pretty rare – a similar “bonus book” from Family Computer Magazine is much easier to find.

Yes, I definitely don’t plan to remove it, and I hope to preserve the condition of everything as best as possible. Even now that I’ve created the scans, I’ll probably just look at them rather than the original book. Plus, since I can simply diverge my eyes to make the images overlap and see the 3-D effect, there’s really no reason for the visor. It’s pretty much just a neat gimmick.

I’d be curious to know which issue it was included with. It’s possible that Japanese sellers are selling that issue of Dengeki with this bonus book inside, and they just aren’t even advertising that the book is included.
