Star Wars Vault

My copy of "Star Wars Vault," a massive book by Steve Sansweet and Pete Vilmur, arrived today from Amazon.com. Obviously, I haven't had time to sit down and read the whole thing, but I've flipped through it to see what it had.

You have to buy this. Seriously.

I know it's expensive (I got the bargain price of $53), but if you're going to buy only one SW book this year, buy this one. Do whatever it takes. Sell your bodily fluids if you have to. If you're any kind of SW fan at all, this is a must-have. It has two CDs of radio ads, rare interviews, and Princess Leia warbling away during the Holiday Special. It has reproductions of all kinds of cool stuff you can pull out to look at, including ads, invitations to various events, George Lucas's handscribbled notes, John Williams's handwritten music sheets, stickers, advertisements, newsletters, postcards, stickers, filmstrips, etc.. A lot of it is stuff I'd never seen before, such as a Queen Amidala tarot card used as an invitation to a Lucasfilm function or rare photos from the set of ANH.

I can't wait to dig through it all!

Yeah... just good timing. I got the B&N standard discount of 30% plus an extra 10% for being a member and then I had a coupon for 50% off that price on any one item. :)
