Sonic the Hedgehog Book is a Japanese-only publication, released to tie in with the upcoming release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The book contains comic strips written by Keji Terada and illustrated by Sango Norimoto, the same staff people for the serialized Sonic the Hedgehog manga series that appeared in Shogaku Ninensei. It is unknown if these strips were collections from previous material or if they were new specifically for the book.
