In the middle and early days of Sonic, the UK area was by far the most prolific for publishing. They defenetely beat out the USA and even Japan, for hardcover, softcover, activity and children's Sonic the Hedgehog stories. Try to get ahold of these while you can, books make a great addition to your collection. What makes these especially nice, is that if you're looking on Ebay auctions, they don't tend to skyrocket in price, so you can still aquire them reasonably.
While modern (2005+) publishing seems to not be as common, things are still getting made, so keep on the lookout.
