Cool Stuff: The Star Wars Vault - “The Coolest Book Of 2007!”
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.
This Christmas I received one of the coolest gifts I’ve ever gotten from my friend Elaine (not to give her too much credit as I picked it out – it was actually one of those “You show me what you want I’ll show you what I want” type of deals). The gift in question is a HUGE hardcover table top book calledThe Star Wars Vault.
The coolest thing about this book is it isn’t just a book, it’s a collection of “50 interactive, rare and some never-before-published memorabilia, including reproductions of Lucas’s own handwritten script pages, flip-through catalogs, swag, posters, T-shirt transfers, tattoos, stickers, blueprints, production notes, animation cells and much more!” It also includes “2 CDs containing over 2 hours of vintage radio ads, original cast interviews, excerpts from the NPR Star Wars radio drama, the complete Star Tours soundtrack, George Lucas’s commentary and other fun stuff.”
I kid you not, this is the coolest book of 2007! A must own for any Star Wars Fan!
The coolest thing in the whole book is probably a 1:1 replica of George Lucas' hand written treatment for Empire Strikes Back. The thing is printed on white lines paper, and looks 100% real. Click on the image to the left to enlarge. Actually, everything in this book looks and feels 100% real. The notes written in pencil by John Williams on the music sheet for the score to Star Wars looks hand drawn (although its likely actually just printed with a really really really good printer).
you’re able to buyThe Star Wars Vaultat most booksellers. The set retails for $85.00, but you can also buy it discounted for $53.55 onAmazon.com.
