A brand new book solely about Velma is coming this August! The book, titled What Would Velma Do? Life Lessons from the Brain (and Heart) of Mystery, Inc. by Shaenon K. Garrity will be released on August 22, 2023, and is now available for pre-order for $18 on Amazon. The book features fun facts and trivia of Velma, a detailed history of the character, and answers to the title question of "what would Velma do?" It's worth noting that the official description mentions the Velma series in future-tense, meaning it was written before the show came out. Here is the book's official description:
A clever illustrated ode to the breakout star of Scooby-Doo, exploring the life lessons this iconic nerd girl teaches us and why we should all aim to be the Velma of our friend group. From the moment Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! premiered in 1969 and through the many Scooby movies and shows since, it has cemented its place as one of the greatest cartoons of all time. But there is one character in particular who has risen to icon status: a smarty-pants who can't see without her glasses named Velma Dinkley. As the nerdiest member of the Mystery, Inc. gang, Velma might have been a wallflower or an underdog. Instead, she's become a fan favorite, a fashion legend, a standout role for Linda Cardellini in the live-action movies, the inspiration for countless Halloween costumes, and soon the star of her own animated series from Mindy Kaling. But why, exactly, do we love this brainiac so much? What Would Velma Do? explores the answers to that question, as well as the many inspiring takeaways we can learn from her, the history of the character, and enough fun facts and trivia to make you say Jinkies!

I don’t understand a lot of things about this book. For example:why is Velma on the cover from SDMI?

I was a bit confused by that too. It would have made more sense to pick her classic appearance IMO.
