DragonBall Landmark reprinted 10 of the original 17 tribute artwork pamphlets included in the first edition Kanzenban releases. Other than that, they're not reprinted anywhere else.
And just as an update to what I originally posted on
Kanzentai, I did find one online retailer that is finally listing the
DragonBall Uranai book. The site
BK1 is listing the book with the title "ドラゴンボールキャラクター占い２０１０" (DragonBall Character Fortunetelling 2010), which is what I was afraid of. In fact, now that I search using this new title, it seems that most other retailers are listing the book under this new title as well.
There was actually a somewhat official
DragonBall Character Fortunetelling released online back in April 2004 by OCN (Open Computer Network). Feel free to check it out
here. You simply enter your birth date (YYYY/MM/DD), hit the submit button, and it will tell you what character you are. The character's page will give you a rundown of the character's personalities and traits. It also provides a bunch of references to the Kanzenban for more information about the character, which were released right around the same time this thing was released.
Apparently I'm Tenshinhan!
Of course, there are other websites out there made by fans that do the same thing. So I'm afraid that's all this book is going to be, unfortunately. But at least we're also getting an illustration collection book, right?
