Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, the first official fanbook of the Touhou series, is written by ZUN and drawn by this guy: [1] and some others. It features Aya Shameimaru writing a newspaper about the Touhou world, with some comics and newspaper articles. It also comes with a music CD featuring tracks from PoFV.
Note that ZUN felt it incomplete to have a Touhou without a shooting game, and thus, he released a title marked as installment 9.5: 東方文花帖 (Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red) ~Shoot the Bullet!~ for Winter Comiket 2005.
Bohemian means "of a person who lives in a very informal way without following accepted rules of behaviour" or "of Aya, living her easy life free from many obstacles and routines". Archive means "a collection of historical documents or records" or "a collection of Bunbunmaru Newspaper from the 113rd to 120th Season edition". And "Japanese Red" may mean "the color of red lacquer ware" or "japanesque one", or "the color of Tengu's face". So the name of title means "a Japanese Tengu's collection written by free-living person.
Additionally, "bunkachou" (文化庁) can mean Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs.
