STAR WARS: 1,000 COLLECTIBLES: MEMORABILIA AND STORIES FROM A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY

Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles:
Memorabilia and Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away

By Stephen J. Sansweet and Anne Neumann

Any self-respecting Star Wars geek knows that author Stephen J. Sansweet is considered to be the über-collector, acquiring what is considered the largest private Star Wars-related collection of in the world and this book will put a smile on the face of even the most jaded fan.

Filled to the brim with extremely entertaining anecdotes, the obvious highlight to the book are the numerous, gorgeous photographs of everything from memorabilia to foreign rarities to prototypes to the occassional piece of a movie set that Sansweet has collected over the years.

Sansweet has never forgotten the magic that Star Wars once had for thousands of disillusioned fans of Emperor George.

This book is a nice reminder of why I loved it.
