Review
One of the few books not in my collection, this is not so much a review so much as a bafflement. Try as I might, I cannot find any information as to the actual contents of this book. This flat cover image and summary are the Only things that seem to exist regarding it - I can't find any photos of a printed copy of the book, of any of the interior pages, or even any reviews of it. There are some middling ratings on the many sites where the book is up for sale, but no one who has rated it has left a review as far as I can tell - no tangible opinions of the book that I can find. The publishing company and author behind it seem to do a lot of "franchise books for children", so I guess this is meant to be a children's book? But it's difficult to parse whether that's actually the case or not, especially since it's described in the single summary as a 'collectible'. Not even Ebay listings of it will offer up a photo of the book in physical space. It's kind of fascinating to me. This book is like a cryptid, sort of what's going on there? Who knows, but it's 48 pages long.
The probability of me one day buying this book is high, given my incredible autism on the franchise, but as of right now, I haven't been able to justify the cost to buy something that is so completely a mystery, even from secondhand bookstores. Unfortunately, I don't find the cover appealing enough to be able to shrug it off as "At least it'll be a good display piece" (Why is there so much strange shading on Bill's face? Why is Ted so white??). So maybe one day, but not any time soon.
According to Amazon, at least 21 people have a copy of this book, somewhere. If you are one of them I'd be fascinated to learn anything at all about the contents of this book lmao.
