Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections: The Spacecraft and Vehicles of the Entire Star Wars Saga Review
Take one look at the oversized "cross-sections" books on the shelf at the bookstore, and you're likely to move on. Don't; each huge, intricately-detailed drawing is breathtaking. The Herculean labor required for these works is obvious on each page. Illustrators Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore paid their dues for the privilege of working on the project: "We illustrated boring stuff, like plumbing and water pumps..." Jenssen recalled ruefully. The result? You find yourself staring deeper and deeper into the layers of detail on each design. It rewards you with additional insights with each viewing.
By the way, the Cross-Sections books were originally sold separately for Episodes I-III and IV-VI respectively. Buying the Complete Cross-Sections compendium here is a better buy.

star wars fan [add to cart] - M. Jones - usa
I ordered this book as a collection item, and it fits right in. Nicely detailed pics, and specs for just about every Star Wars vehicle from all six films. A must have for any Star Wars collector, or fanboy (or girl).

It is full color, highly detailed, contains most of the Star Wars vehicles. Recommend it for all who like seeing how things are built.
awesome book - S. Elliott - Atlanta, GA
this is a great book and my [...] years old son and husband love it. It goes into details on all the space ships and is very informative. The only drawback is that it is such a big book. My son wanted to bring it with him to grandma's house but it just too big of a book to take on the plane.

It is amazing how the creators of the SW universe were able to think about every single detail. Even if you are not a fan, you will be impressed of the masterful drawings and detailed descriptions of the vast range of different vehicles. This is the ultimate guide for the SW vehicles definitely. Must have!
