I recently found a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: The Countdown,a cool little promotional book released in Japan. It contains an interview with Hideo Kojima,synopsis on previous games in the series,production notes,a portion of the virtuous mission's script,as well as stuff that can be found in the original Snake Eater instruction manual such as instructions on CQC controls & camouflage, character art,and historical timeline.
If anyone knows Japanese and wants to translate the Kojima interview or any other part of the book,please let me know.
Here are a few images from the book
