An interesting discovery was made while compiling the images for this page...there are VARIATIONS to the backs of the 5-hole Theme Books! Perhaps there are in fact EIGHT different 5-hole Theme Books (four characters with two different backs)? If this is true it would bump a complete set to a total of 12 different Theme Books!!
