Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
From Australian frozen treats filled with "Jedi Jelly" to AT-AT facial tissue, Star Wars completely revolutionized the way in which movies got licensed and merchandised. Some of the most unusual examples show up in this tiny book--thanks to über-collector Stephen Sansweet. Close-up photos and Sansweet's own commentary tell the story behind $2,500 Jawas and Darth Vader-Dog Chow tie-ins. An irresistible addition to any fan's desk or back pocket, this guide is guaranteed to produce more than a few gasps of "You've got to see this!" --Paul Hughes

3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay-Okay,
By Anthony Auletta (N.Y.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Collectibles: A Pocket Guide (Hardcover)
I found this book okay-okay. The pictures were great and the descriptions were good but the choice is not so good. I expected a little bit more from this book. Like 20 more toys wouldn't hurt.
