This review is from: DearS Official Fan Book (v. 1) (Paperback)

Doujin, or Fan-comics are rarely spotted here in the States, due to some nasty copyright issues involved in translated and selling them here. In fact, the fan-comics are technically breaking copyrights in Japan, but most artists give them the nod.

But this book was compiled by Peach-Pit themeselves. (Peach-Pit was originally a fan-comic company, so they have some deep ties with these artists.) So, it allowed TokyoPop to bring it to America.

The stories are all short, but they are by so many different artists. Some stories are full of really interesting mini-storylines, while others have art that is really high-quality.

It's a shame more of these types of books are not published. They are a great supplement to any series.
