Review

As posters books go this is at the top in my opinion. Wonderful layout and it packs a vibrant and highly nostalgic feeling throughout. This book is fairly large. It's glossy reference stands out and it covers approx three hundred and fifty of the couple of thousand posters that have been issued worldwide in Star Wars' history. For the collector there are plenty of detailed photos, many full page and with colour that make this a further benefit.

Verdict

If I was to buy 5 first time purchases this would not be one of them. I collect posters now and then so it's of interest but it's focus is naturally in one place. However, this is one to get at some stage if you haven't yet purchased it. I posted some images/posters on here in another section.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 - Highly Recommended
