What is PLUS / SLAM DUNK ILLUSTRATIONS 2?

PLUS / SLAM DUNK ILLUSTRATIONS 2 was released by Shueisha on April 3, 2020 to mark the series' 30th anniversary, the second Inoue illustration collection after the 1997 book. It is a 30 by 30 centimeter volume of 96 pages holding more than 130 illustrations, most printed in book form for the first time.

Its core is the modern cover record: all twenty of the 2018 shinsoban covers, the kanzenban cover art of 2001 and 2002, the newspaper advertisement drawn for the 100 million copies milestone in 2004, and a set of illustrations Inoue drew new for this book, including its cover. Retail listings differ slightly on the count of new drawings, so this site states only that new art was drawn for the volume and leaves the exact tally to the book's own contents page.

The ISBN is 9784087925524. For a store built on Japanese art books, PLUS is the reference object of the Slam Dunk lane: the one volume that documents the covers collectors are actually hunting.
