So, does anyone have photos of the inside?

Looks very interesting, though. Thanks.

Oh wow, the memories. I had that thing - but I'm honestly not sure where it is now. If I can find it, I'll see if I can get some pictures, but hopefuly someone will get to it before me - my camera's kind of crappy too.

It was pretty kiddy, with lots of stickers as advertised, and the quizzes were pathetically easy - save for the few that weren't due to the 'right' answer actually being wrong - and most of the art was stock. So unless you just want to have it to say you have it, I can't say it's really worth looking for nowadays.

I think I also had two or three of the 'How to Draw Dragon Ball Z' books that Scholastic also put out. Good ol' school book orders.

Eeeeyup, got this in 3rd grade alongside volume 1 of the DBZ manga. It's just a dumb little activity book. It did come with a boss Majin sticker you could put on your head until the teacher sends you to the 1st grade class cuz' if you want to act like a 1st grader you can go sit with them while the rest of the class has recess but you don't care cuz' you got a Dragonball maze to complete!

....erm....I was a troubled youth.

I have all three of those DBZ drawing books. I would always outline them and then brag about how good of a artist I was. Good times.

I remember when I was 8 I had a book that was pretty much a GT version of this. I'm not sure if it was by schoolastics though.

I had all of these too! Although, I didn't outline them and mine weren't all that good. But, I did enjoy attempting to draw the characters. This one was mostly an activity book though, but there were a few drawing sections. I don't think I have mine anymore.

And yes, this is my first post, I know, lame.
