It&#8217;s not a book, clearly (although a good &#8220;go fish&#8221; player will know that a deck contains thirteen &#8220;books&#8221;, just waiting to be made.) However, the list has included print adaptations that don&#8217;t qualify as books, such as an adaptation in a magazine, or as a cloth panel.<\/p>\n<p>And the answer is: no. While the cards have plenty of images from the special, they are not in any sort of obvious order where they could convey the story, even in some rough, dialogue-free form. It&#8217;s just a pile of pictures.
