If you're interested in Star Wars books, I talk about many that are available (including that one) in one of my blogs:

It's a good book with a few large saber pics. Unfortunately a lot of the images are mismarked and/or are in the wrong sections.

I got this book back in the mid 90's and I've always really liked it. Just a couple days ago my three year old boy discovered it and now he loves it! I guess it's really nothing special now, but back then if you wanted to see pics of props there really weren't a lot of options, lol.

I bought this book long before I got into the hobby. Circa 1993.

Very cool review, thanks, it just reminded I still need a couple books you mentioned there: The Visual Dictionary (OT version) and The Making of SW.

This is probably the book that got me into props. Some of the best photographs of the OT props.

This is a must have for any Star Wars fan. Especially for prop, costume, and model makers like us. Great review as well James. The Star Wars Chronicles book for the OT is still THE definitive must have for RPFers like us and any fan who does serious Star Wars Costuming, Modeling and Propping!

I picked up my copy on the discount table from Walden's Books around the late 90's. Back then, I bought anything Star Wars if it was on clearance for something like $5.

Recently I was going through Star Wars and Star Trek books to clear out the bulk and sell on eBay. I picked it up and thumbed through it and was surprises to be remembered to see the great content. Needless to say, it was a keeper.

Looks like this subject Lucasfilm book released in UK as different title / cover but same material?

U.S. one with Death Star / Indiana Jones cover:



Recently found this one on Amazon, got excited for a minute then realized looks like same authors, description, and number of pages. Guess I am getting twitchy waiting for shipment of the upcoming Star Wars costumes book!

Heard about this too, and I have SW Archives on its way to me as we speak together with Making of SW (all 3 books). I guess no need to look for SW to Indiana Jones anymore
