Dragonball Daizenshu
The Dragonball Daizenshu are
perhaps the best Dragonball source/reference books available
on the series. Printed in Japan and in the Japanese language,
they have exhaustive information, summaries,etc. about the series,
its characters, battles, powers, and so forth. They also contain
fantastic images from the series and and manga volumes as well
as original art not seen elsewhere. There are 7 hard cover volumes
of Daizenshu (just like there are 7 dragonballs) and there are
3 softcover "special" volumes. The original Dragonball
and DBZ are covered in these volumes with brief cameos of DBGT
(these books were printed before DBGT aired in Japan so that's
why it lacks a strong presence in the volumes).
- The breakdown by volume are
as follows (by volume):
-
- 1-Complete Illustrations (artwork, covers,etc.)
- 2-Story Guide (summaries of events in mangas, tv)
- 3- TV Animation Pt.1 (illustrations,chara.guide,etc. of first
half of DBZ)
- 4-World Guide (guide to the planets,etc. in DB/Z world)
- 5-TV Animation Pt.2 (Illustrations,chara.guide,etc. of second
half of DBZ)
- 6-Movies & TV Specials (Illustr., chara. guide,etc. of all
movies & tv specials)
- 7-Dragonball (main resource...packed with info, summaries,etc.)
- spec. 1-features dragonball trading cards pt.1
- spec.2- more dragonball trading cards pt.2
- spec. 3-TV Animation Pt.3 (illustr., chara. guides,etc. of last
few episodes of DBZ & DB 10th Anniv. Special)
-
- I have collected most of these
books over time (it took many years!) and will scan bits of them
now and then. Some will be shown in this section here while others
pop up throughout the rest of this site.
-
- If you are seeking these books,
I recommend searching the online stores, Amazon.com, and online
auctions such as Ebay. These books are a rare find and can be
expensive as most are now out-of-print. You may get lucky in
the Dealer's Room of anime conventions now and then too as I
have.
