Where can I get English Sailor Moon books?
Most current North American/English Sailor Moon books are
created and released by Tokyo Pop, formerly known as Mixxzine.
The first North American Sailor Moon books to come out were the
large, hardcovered "Meet Sailor Moon" and "Sailor Moon: Friends
and Foes" books which have information on the characters in the
dub.
A "Sailor Moon Role-Playing and Resource Book" has been released
independently (I'm credited in it, woo hoo) with information on
the senshi/scouts, the seasons, works by Takeuchi Naoko, and how
to play the role playing game. It has colored pictures too.
There are novelizations of the dubbed anime, also. These were
written by an American, and although based on the dub, they
include references to Japanese episodes. They are NOT by
Takeuchi Naoko or anyone from the anime.
There are also releases of the Japanese fanbooks for the five
main Sailor Soldiers. These were translated into English and
have the DIC dub names and references. However, because they
came out before the Cloverway dubs, they use the Japanese names
for characters Sailor Moon S and SuperS. They
are called the "Sailor Moon Scout Guides."

Where can I get Japanese Sailormoon books?
There are lots of Japanese anime books. There are the books which
feature selected episodes from the Sailormoon series up to
SuperS in comic format. Pictures are taken from the anime,
and the dialogue is in text bubbles. These are not in English.
There are anime manga for the first four seasons of Sailormoon
(Sailormoon, Sailormoon R, Sailormoon S, and
Sailormoon SuperS). There is also an anime comic of the
Sailormoon R movie. These can be found in Japanese, though
a lot of them are out of print, and also in other languages, such
as Chinese.
There are also Anime Albums which are large books featuring information
on the seasons of Sailormoon and movies complete with episode
listings (dates, names, directors, etc.), character info, monster
listings, sketches, full colored pictures, and more. There are two
anime albums for the first season, one for Sailormoon R, and two
for Sailormoon S. I'm not sure if there's one for SuperS but
there are no anime albums for SailorStars. There are also anime
albums for each of the three movies (R, S, and SuperS). These are
avaliable not in English. Many of them out of print in Japanese but
are avaliable in other languages, such as Chinese.
Finally, there are many little Sailormoon books with pictures for
very young children. They are written for younger children who can't
read very well and don't know much kanji; some of them are extremely
simple and only feature kana while others are more complex for slightly
older children. There are smaller, wider, and much shorter than the
other anime books. I think some are hardcovered, others are soft-covered.
I think these are pretty rare to find though. They do cover all the
seasons including SuperS and SailorStars. It's unlikely
you'll find these I think.
