The Star Wars poster book

If you're a Star Wars fan, a student of film history or just a lover of great art, this book will appeal to you. With an oversized coffe-table hardcover format, the posters are reproduced large enough to really appreciate the detail and artistry of the pieces. A very informative text accompanies the pictures and gives a detailed overview of the evolution of the movie poster as a promotional tool for the movies. However, not just movie posters are included, from both the original trilogy and prequels, also those made to promote the various tie-ins like toys, snacks and other merchandise as well as those made for special events like the Star Wars Celebration. I remember that I owned a copy of the famous Hildebrandt poster (with Leia showing a lot of leg) for Star Wars, episode IV, and thinking it was the coolest poster ever!
