I'd "worry" that it was going to be remade, like the upcoming Episode I Expanded Visual Dictionary, but Starlog's gone the way of the dodo, so I'm probably safe. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (sabacc) http://swgfa.com/reply/25121 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 04:10:50 PST <![CDATA[ Re: GFFA Literature ]]> http://swgfa.com/reply/25102/GFFA-Literature#reply-25102 sabacc wrote:

I should look for that hardcover. I know it's outdated, and I have the magazines, but the hardcover likely sells for a song these days.


You should be able to find the hardcover for $10-15 these days.

Without a doubt. I actually have been partial to blueprints books since the days of the old Starlog Technical Journals (early 90s). I had a copy of the vinyl packaged ancient ones as well, but traded them away long ago. So not only is that content of interest to me, the annotations sound like they could be really enlightening.

Having not held the book in my hand (which I obviously hadn't when it was initially solicited) I'm afraid not. It wouldn't cripple me right now, but I have trouble justifying that cost in my head. When a Star Wars book retails for over $200 it's pretty much off my radar (like Star Wars Frames). I have no real expectation of owning Star Wars Blueprints, but if I find a copy years later at a dramatically lower price (like we've seen with the deluxe Sculpting a Galaxy, and I believe the deluxe Cinema By The Bay) I'll certainly strongly consider it.

I do hope to see your copy at some point, even if you have to turn the pages for me (what with Star Wars Pringles and all).  Winkyoda feeds@yuku.com (Chris Wyman) http://swgfa.com/reply/25084 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:41:14 PST <![CDATA[ Re: GFFA Literature ]]> http://swgfa.com/reply/25080/GFFA-Literature#reply-25080 Chris Wyman wrote:

I'd be all over that if the price were dramatically lower. I'll give it a couple of years and hope to find someone clearancing them. It looks great and I enjoyed your interview with Rinzler on the Jedi Journals podcast.Thanks man, that was a real treat for us.

Chris, I've heard you mention several times recently on the Jedi Journals that you're in contact with the Sci Fi Book Club. I may have missed this, but does the show have any sort of affiliate link with the club? I'd imagine the discussion, as well as the encouragement for them to carry more compendiums, might be driving some decent business their way. If so, what's the link? Part of me is considering joining again one of these days.

I recall I got the Yoda and Medstar compendiums some 5 or 6 years ago through Audrey, so I appreciate their hardbacks of books unavailable elsewhere, but I don't particularly like the smaller size. Once or twice I've gotten burned by buying used books on Half.com where people advertise the regular version and send the small SFBC version.No link that I'm aware of, but that is something to investigate further.

Hah, you've got me on that one. I'm going to just say Wal*Mart as a guess as they've been known to do that from time to time.
Jason Fry was a guest author at Star Wars Weekends last year and the book was available there before it's street date. I liked what I saw of it and looked all over the book but couldn't find his name on the spine or anywhere readily on the book. Since I couldn't verify that and because it will definitely need an update by the time the The Clone Wars ends I decided to pass.Ha...excellent!
