Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite the pleasure, indeed.
Review: I recently designed Jim's webpage (www.kennercanada.com) and received a copy of the book. The book has a very interesting layout, with nice picture placement and colour schemes so your eyes never get bored.

The quality of the book was amazing, and I received a pre-print version, with slightly blurred pictures but the printed version is much better. This book is an excellent resource for collectors and hobbiests everywhere.

Summary: finally a book that deals exclusively with Canadian stuff
Review: I think anyone interested in Canadian SW toys will find this book useful. Contains some great pictures and catalogue pages. What I liked most were the insights offered by Mac Irwin, the president of Kenner Canada during the vintage toy years.He makes it a little more clear why certain toys were packaged and released in the way that they were. This is a good addition to any collectors library of reference material.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A thorough guide to Canadian Star Wars Toys
Review: This is the kind of in-depth thorough Star Wars collecting book that many in the hobby are craving. The author isn't scared to take on an esoteric, yet fascinating slice of Star Wars collectibles (namely the Canadian Star Wars toy line) and cover everything about it in detail, from common items, to variations, to hard-to-find rarities. Some of the rarest pieces pictured in this book appear nowhere else in print.

This is not the book for the beginning Star Wars collector, however I do not know a single longtime Star Wars collector who does not own this resource. The photography could be a little better, but still captures all the essentials.

Summary: Dull.
Review: Though this book does present a variety of different Star Wars collectables, the manner in which it does so is somewhat boring. Even as a huge Star Wars fan, I found the book hard to read, but it is still useful as a checklist.
