Introduction
The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama, as printed on the front flap of the dust cover:
I've mentioned this lots of times already, but I really don't like the cold. When you turn on the heat, your head goes into a daze, and when you turn it off, your hands get numb and you can't hold your pen properly. Because of that, when it gets cold, I stop riding my motorbike and my bicycle almost completely, and use the car all the time instead. Frankly speaking, I'm a sissy of a rider. It's enough for me to want to hibernate: Come on, spring! Get here soon! Every winter's day is filled with longing.
— Akira Toriyama

Q&A Session
This volume contains a short, two-page Q&A session with author Akira Toriyama entitled, "Toriyama-san's Dragon Ball Ask-Me-Anything Corner", where he answered questions sent in by readers. Anyone was able to send in a postcard to the address listed in the book, and individuals whose submissions ran in a subsequent volume were promised a signed illustration from Toriyama himself. This solicitation remained in place in all printings through mid-1995 (the end of the series' run in Weekly Shōnen Jump), after which it was removed.
