For £2.50 that's well worth a purchase.

Definitely, it’s a tenner from the tax dodgers!

I could not hold out any longer.
I had to have it.
A concrete block so big it comes in a case with a handle.

Just finished this book. I could not put it down. I thought it was awesome and cannot wait for the next volume.
The series will mainly cover the Original Trilogy so that's me sold.

The Star Wars Historical Sourcebook: Volume One: 1971-1976:

51JraWH4plL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

In this unique, multi-volume resource for serious Star Wars fans, historian W.R. Miller presents a complete chronological account of the Star Wars cinematic franchise, from 1971-1990. This first volume covers 1971-1976, with a foreword by Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz.
Part narrative, part oral history, part exhaustive reference, the Star Wars Historical Sourcebook draws upon dozens of interviews with Star Wars cast, crew, and the cadre of supporters who promoted the films, wrote the novelizations, and worked behind-the-scenes with George Lucas to bring a galaxy far, far away to a theatre near you.
Miller includes hundreds of excerpts from books, newspaper articles, and magazines, with annotated references, copious notes, and introductory articles for each year.
For those who want to know everything about how Star Wars was conceived, filmed, and promoted, this is the only book you’ll need.

"This historical sourcebook is an extraordinarily complete work, annotating almost everything that has been written about the original Star Wars Trilogy (now called Episodes 4, 5, and 6). I have personally found this sourcebook very useful for my own research into questions I am asked in interviews. Bob Miller has done a monumental job on this sourcebook and any true Star Wars fan or scholar must have this work in their collection."
— Gary Kurtz, Producer, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back

Industrial Light & Magic Presents: Making Solo: A Star Wars Story
71FyiYhJsjL.jpg

Basically, what this book is, is visual effects supervisor Rob Bredow's photo diary of the making of SOLO. Tons of phots of locations, set design and CGI enhancements with text about how the various shots were achieved.
It is what is says on the cover.. ILM's making of SOLO.
Not the making if SOLO with all the s**t storm going on behind the scenes at Lucasfilm.
As such, this is pretty straightforward but you can't help but cringe at all the backslapping and sickly sweet comments at how fantastic ILM are and how no challenge was too great.
Maybe the Emperor Kathleen Kennedy was looking over his shoulder for this one!
