Summary: EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!
Review: AFTER YEARS OF RESEARCH THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE STAR WARS GUIDE FOR COLLECTORS. NEVER HAS SO MUCH INFORMATION BEEN AVAILABLE IN ONE TEXT. THIS BOOK OUTDOES ANYTHING EVER PRINTED AS FAR AS VALUE OF COLLECTIBLES FOR STAR WARS. IT HAS PHOTOGRAPHS OF EVERYTHING IN THE SET WHETHER IT'S WATCHES OR CARDS. EASY TO FIND REFERENCES OF YOUR COLLECTIBLE AND EASY TO FIND VALUE ALSO. HIGH QUALITY GRAPHICS, 9,000 PHOTOS, SLICK PAPER AND HARDCOVER MAKE THIS A WINNER!

Summary: Great book for the price, but it does have some flaws
Review: As soon as I got this book, I went through the WHOLE thing cover to cover. It was great finding things I had (and kicking myself for things I wish I still had :) ). When I started to wonder if there was a Star Wars _____, I'd look through the book and there it was! There are definitely thousands of pictures - problem is they're tiny. If you don't have the greatest vision, a magnifying glass would help.
I did also find some typos between what was identified in the picture and the id description (I'd seen the item before so I could tell the description was wrong). If you're looking for information on the trading cards, this is the right place. I'd say probably at least 1/4 of the book is nothing but trading card information.
For the price and what the book was trying to accomplish (categorize just about any known Star Wars item on earth), it's well worth the price. It brought back some great memories too so I think it's still a great buy.

Summary: Excellent Guide
Review: For the new collector or for the "Old Hand" this book is a must.
Packed with thousands of colour photos and some great details, it is something that should be part of any serious collectors library. Overloaded with page after page of collectable.
Although some of the action figures variations are not listed and there are a few items missing from the list, I am sure the author will correct these MINOR oversights with his next edition.
Outstanding book, outstanding value.

Review: I Have been a collector for many years now , and have bought every guide ever produced . This guide written by Mr Carlton is by far the best of them all , I was pleasantly suprised by the content , layout and size of this book .
It is huge and made me realize just how many holes i have in my collection .
I recommend this book to one and all , don't miss out on this book .
As a guide it is by far the most modern and the best. It will be extremly useful to the collector for years to come .

Summary: Refined, Revised, Updated, and even better
Review: The first edition was a "good try" to put an exhaustive book out on the market again, since we haven't had a complete one since 1997. In this second edition, the author has taken to heart some of the short comings of the first edition, completely stripped down the title and rebuilt it bigger and better! Critisism: 17,000 photos is unbelievable! Unfortunately, "magnifying glass not included". Since the book is already huge, how about dropping a couple of thousand photos and making the remaining ones large enough to enjoy without squinting? Minus one rating star. Positive: WOW! The content is right on the mark! Every time I wonder if they made a Star Wars _____, I look and there it is! Most of the time, there's even a photograph so I can see what it looks like! Definately a four-star book! Conclusion: If this turns out to be an on-going series, I'm willing to put down my $...a year just to see what kind of new (and old) stuff they're finding to add! I practially wore the binding off the first book. Time to retire it; there's a better one out now!
