Anyone know of a HQ scan of the v-jump strategy guide book?

Looked around for it, but couldn't find anything. Did a cursory JP search as well, but Im not too great with that, with my limited knowledge of the language.
Need it for those beautiful portraits. For modding, ofc, but also to admire 😄

Of course, a lot of this stuff is hard to find/expensive these days (one magazine company that published them has gone out of business).
Like this book priced at 200CNY, it may sell for 700 now

Looks close in some areas, but unfortunately no. Thanks for helping dig stuff up, though!
Here- somebody sent me pics of it, prompting me to look for scans.

Got v-ジャンプ "v-jump" on the bottom right there of the front cover.
It has some good unobstructed character portraits, particularly the Elements- which are pretty LQ everywhere else I look for them.

Did we determine the ISBN? When I looked the other day, it seemed like the covers were a different color than the book in the tweet. That said, maybe it's because of a dustjacket?

I'd be glad to help track down a listing for it if we can be sure it's the right item!

Well, I saw that this book is sold on a second-hand website in China, and I want to buy it back when my illness is better

I also think the color is a bit strange, because the one I saw was reddish
I don't know if there is a chance to scan it after purchase. . .

I purchased the book, but it may be difficult to get a scan in February. . . really i'm sorry:(

oh that's fine. Just the fact that someone went out of their way and purchased something in order to get me scans I was looking for is amazingly unexpected. Looking forward to being able to get some good hq portraits for characters like the Elements and get that in-game. :)

Ok, I've done the scan, but I'm wondering how to send it, it's huge.

It's ok, I'm collecting this kind of stuff, scanning them can also add a little something to my library
 
I also removed the moiré pattern and removed the color cast when scanning, so it should be no problem.
The scanning accuracy is 300dpi, there may be some problems when zooming in at 500%, sorry
