The Lost World: Jurassic Park Official Annual

The Lost World: Jurassic Park Official Annual is a 62-page children's book that goes over the plot of, similar to a storybook. It includes dedicated pages of "Dino Facts" and the back two pages are illustrations from Mark McCreery. It was written by Tony Lynch, designed by Dave Saunders, and published by Grandreams Ltd in 1997. It originated from Belgium, thus some of the words are spelled differently than they would be had it been an American release.

Along with the publishing details, the inside of the front cover notes the following:

"The condensed story in this annual is adapted from the original movie script."

Given how many drafts of the script there were for the second film, it's unknown which draft was used as reference for this book.

Differences from the film

 * The book keeps the deleted boardroom scene intact.
 * Malcolm and Hammond's scene includes a lot more dialogue, and a picture of their exchange that was cut from the scene.
 * InGen is on the "verge of Chapter Two" rather than Chapter 11.
 * There is more dialogue between Eddie and Malcolm on the boat regarding why they couldn't use an airlift.
 * It's stated that the lagoon the gatherers land in is the same one Cathy Bowman was attacked by the Compys.
 * The High Hide only goes fifteen feet off the ground, unlike the film where it gets to thirty.

Errors

 * The illustrations are attributed to "Stan Winston" (likely meant to mean Stan Winston Studio), even though Mark McCreery is the true creator of the illustrations.
 * Page 6 states that Jurassic Park has been dismantled and the dinosaurs have been destroyed, following the line of thought at the time of production that Isla Sorna was the only island with dinosaurs on it. This was never outright confirmed in the film itself, and was later contradicted by Jurassic World.
 * The hurricane that wiped out Sorna is misspelled "Clarrise."
