The Star Wars Poster Book is released


The Star Wars Poster Book by Stephen Sansweet and Pete Vilmur

new and exciting book, authored by Steve Sansweet and Pete Vilmur, dedicated to Star Wars posters and poster collecting is now available to Star Wars fans. It's certainly a necessary and recommended addition to any collecting library. Below is an image of the book along with an official synopsis of the publication. Collectors may purchase this fine publication here.

One of the very first Star Wars posters had no images at all—just enormous block letters that announced, "Coming to Your Galaxy This Summer: Star Wars." The rest is history. Now, 28 years later, the 350 most amazing Star Wars movie posters are collected for the first time. This compilation spans the surreal to ultra realistic, the campy to darkly serious: Darth Vader's head exploding in a shower of camera parts; Anakin Skywalker casting an ominous Sith shadow; C-3PO and R2-D2 selling Star Wars shoes; Luke and Vader in mortal battle aboard the Death Star. Classic posters are joined with text by the world's foremost Star Wars collector, Stephen Sansweet, and poster collector Peter Vilmur, behind-the-scenes stories from artists and designers, a scarcity guide to over 2,000 posters, and a bootleg identification guide. Exploding with color, The Star Wars Poster Book illuminates an unexplored corner of Star Wars history.
