The Detective Picture Book (名探偵図鑑 Meitantei Zukan ), fully titled Gosho Aoyama's Detective Picture Book (青山剛昌の名探偵図鑑 Aoyama Gōshō no Meitantei Zukan ), is a special feature included on the dust-jacket of each Detective Conan manga volume. Each installment features a brief write-up on a famous fictional detective (or, in rare cases, a criminal), a colored illustration, and a story recommendation from Aoyama.
In the English localization, this feature is referred to as "Gosho Aoyama's Mystery Library" and - because manga is generally not sold with dust-jackets in the West - relegated to a black-and-white page at the very end of the volume.
