Incredible Cross-sections of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace: The Definitive Guide to the Craft Hardcover – Bargain Price

I grew up on these books. I think I probably checked the whole series from my library more often than any other kid in town. Fast forwards nearly twenty years, and I finally realized I could just buy them outright. Go figure.So I bought all three of them, sadly from different vendors. The second two came in at the same time, both pretty beat up, obviously library copies that had seen better days.But this one? Came in, wrapped up in three layers of protection, two of which were waterproof, and not a single scratch on the cover. If I didn't know better, I'd say it came directly from the printer! Binding cracked in that satisfying "brand new book" way, and just about every single page was perfectly mint. The only one that wasn't was the fold out page, but even then, that looked like a printing error where the machine missed folding it in the right way. I really wish the other two had been so perfect!

The media could not be loaded.  This is the cross-sections of vehicles from episode I. While quite detailed and infomative it is still a book most likely meant for younger people. It is short on the page count at 32 pages but the shear size of the book is impressive at 10 1/2 X 14 inches. The art work is quite impressive and some include the pilot or occupants of the ship which is a nice touch. I recommend it.Ships included are as follows.The Republic Cruiser Radiant VII.The Trade Federation Landing ship.The Trade Federation MTT (multi troop transport).The Gungan sub.The royal starship of Queen Amidala.The podracers (only Teemto's, Anakin's and Sebulba's podracers are cross sectioned).Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator.The Trade Federation droid starfighter.The Trade Federation droid control ship (displayed on the fold out pages).The Naboo Royal N-1 starfighter.The Trade Federation AAT (armored assault tank).The Naboo speeder.The Corusant Taxi.

Good book. My child just loves it. Surprised at how good quality it really is. Will be loved for a long time. The page that opens and comes out flat of the ship makes conversation even better. Loves it!

Frankly it's not pretty good condition.

Got this for my 8 year old star wars fan. This is a very detailed book, he spends time reviewing the pages and matching them up with the toys and the movie. It's a large book and the majority of each page is covered with pictures of the vehicles.

Great illustrations to help you imagine what it would really look like if these vehicles were real. We donated this copy to our school library, but wish we bought one for ourselves!

I love it !!

Perfect ....

For the money l was not expected pristine condition. But what I got was good enough for what I needed to add details to an x wing fighter I'm building thanks.

Came fast and book is good.

Book arrived yesterday. Disappointed however with the crush type damage to the hard cover front and back. Description was used good. Pages are ok

More aimed at kids under 12 , not what i thought would be like

Grandson love's them.
