A sticker album/booklet isn't really a book. But, that doesn't stop this all new sticker collection from being cool. Apparently, you can collect stickers (rectangular & die cut) by buying packs, and accumulate them into a book or onto a poster. There are supposed to be 100 different stickers. The real news on the pack is, that it can contain all new official Sonic art. This sticker collection may be the first place to see these images in 2010. It may mean new stock art for zillions of other uses, so it will be interesting to see the debut item.
This should be available at WH Smith stores in summer 2010. It was made by Factory Entertainment.
At right, you can see the retail box the sticker packs come in, and an ad for the sticker collection, book, and stickers. It has the statistics on the collection, and explains there are 140 different ones to collect.
The book has an ad for the Jazwares Sonic figures, but with the Tomy name on it. A good spot for an ad!
The left photo compares the back of the modern sticker album to the vintage one. The modern album is 24 pages long, and the sticker packs have 5 stickers in each. Naturally that is 'blindboxed' so you may need to trade to get all the stickers. But where is the vintage album? What kinds of stickers were inside? How much does this new album cost, can you buy it online, and where do the stickers come from? There remain many unanswered questions about this interesting and complicated item! Write in if you know.

Here are 2 examples of the pages within the book. The blank numbered areas show you which stickers to place where, to fill it all in. Every main character has 2 pages dedicated to them in the book, so it MUST be big! (yes, even Big!) It has profile write ups, and interesting graphics.

Let's take a look inside!
Owning this great book is the way to go, but if you can't, just have a look at these pages instead. The pages here appear in no particular order. Check out the new art for most of the characters, and see who got to star on their own page.
Each page has a profile and info write up, as well as spaces for plenty of stickers. Just match the numbers to know where to put them.
Do note that not everyone got new art. Chaos-0, the neutral/hero/dark chao and Tikal didn't get any changes, however their art was never common to begin with. Babylon Rogues fans will appriciate their whole page, and Eggman fans won't be dissapointed either. With characters like EMRL, Eggman Nega & E102-Gamma all starring on a sticker, this book has just about everyone covered. There's no shortage of Sonic either, as he stars & co-stars on several pages. This book is a super collectible for any Sonic fan, especially if you can complete it with the fun stickers.
The backs of the stickers also were printed. In the upper left there, you can see they had the logo & winged ring / Sonic portrait, the number & name of whoever is on the sticker. You can see this pack had 2 of the same Cream in it, which 2 of any sticker isn't really something you want on a pack.
