Notes[]
- Of the 11 scenes, 5 were from past Waldo books and 6 were brand-new (however 5 of the new scenes would be republished in later books, namely 2006's The Great Picture Hunt.)
- "On The Beach" was first seen in Where's Waldo?.
- "The Future" was first seen in Where's Waldo Now.
- "The Nasty Nasties", "Unfriendly Giants" and "The Land of Waldos" were first seen in The Great Waldo Search.
- "Among the Pirates" was later republished in Plundering Pirates.
- "The Castle Siege" was later republished in Fighting Knights.
- "The Monstrous Monsters", "Land of Sports" and "Among the Pirates" were later republished in The Great Picture Hunt.
- "The Castle Siege" and "The Old Friends" would later be republished in The Incredible Paper Chase.
- "Military Parade" is the only scene exclusive to this book.
- The same concept and theme of the "The Old Friends" scenes had previously been explored in The Ultimate Fun Book and and was later revisited in The Great Picture Hunt using the name "Old Friends" for the scenes, however both of the illustrations are unique scenes that are different from the scene in The Magnificent Poster Book.
- It is the largest book in terms of the cover size measuring 15 inches by 21 5/8 inches. Ten of the pages are perforated and have blank whitespace on the backs so they can be ripped out and hung as posters. "The Land of Sports" is not perforated and must be removed by undoing the staples in the center of the book because it is a two-page spread.
- The book held the first appearances of Wenda and Odlaw. It also marks the last time Wilma is seen.
