Star Wars : Incredible Cross-Sections : The Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft Hardcover – 22 Oct. 1998

For those you of who have never seen this book, it is a classic in both information and design and was one of the first DK (Dorling Kindersley) books on the saga.Written by David West Reynolds and Illustrated by Jenssen and Chasemore this covers the Original Star Wars Trilogy now called Episode 4 to 6 and gives great detail in the drawings. The craft are introduced in the same sequence of the film, so you get the Blockade Runner first followed by the Star Destroyer (Victory Class), Death Star, Tie Fighter and so forth. The schematics are brilliant and well worth looking at over and over again and special features include the Death Star with great information via West Reynolds. You get a glimpse of the Star Wars Universe which enhance your film viewing. This is a must buy for any Star Wars fan and anyone who play the Trivial Pursuit Star Wars board games.The contents include:The introduction (on engines, hyperdrives, sublight drivers etc)The Blockade Runner (Tantive IV)Star DestroyerTie Fighters (bombers, fighters etc) and Death Star (original)SandcrawlerMillennium FalconX-Wing (T-65) although this was and the Y-Wing's (BLT-A4)were not actually named in the films.Tie Advanced X1 (Darth Vader's Tie)All Terrain Armoured Transport (AT-AT) and Scout Walker (AT-ST)SnowspeederSlave 1 and Jabba's Sail BargeAll in all a very brilliant book and well worth buying which you will want to read for years later (I have had this book since at least 2000).

At just 32 pages this book isn't the largest, but for what it lacks in length this A3 sized hardback edition composed of forensically detailed profiles of some of the most iconic vehicles makes up for in depth. The profiles represented within are as follows:Blockage Runner (Corellian Corvette)Star DestroyerTIE FighterDeath StarSandcrawlerMillennium FalcomX-WingY-WingTIE AdvancedAT-ATSnowspeederAT-STSlave-IJabba's Sail BargeEach entry is presented in full colour and has a cut-away profile of the vehicle in question showing it's inner workings such as weapons, engines, and passenger compartments, and accompanied by plenty of information regarding their origins, history, and functions.It's almost definitely not worth the full asking price, but if you can get a second hand copy lie I did (for just 73p), you'll have a real bargain on your hands.

My nephew, Joey Bird, tells me :"Thank-you very very much for my lovely Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections book - its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I hope to be invited on the maiden voyage of the first space ship he builds.

Used to get this from the library when I was a kid. Fun book! Feeling all nostalgic when I had it in my hands again.

Brilliant book which got to me super quick from the seller,very good deal

One is not prepared for the level of detail and research that is behind the series.In case you missed the headline, this is a treasure.Negatives: awful figure (person, alien) drawing in places, but then again, such are supposed to be symbols.

Great value book that my Star Wars loving son is so happy to have.

slight damage to spine of book, but otherwise ok
