Bestselling pop-up artist and engineer Matthew Reinhart has designed a thirtieth anniversary commemorative edition that comes packed with a variety of novelty features -- pop-ups, working light sabers, pull tabs, and other interactive looks at the exciting and popular movies. This beautiful book will impress all fans of STAR WARS and gives a whole new perspective to the films.

MATTHEW REINHART is a renowned paper engineer and bona fide STARS WARS aficionado. He has worked with Robert Sabuda on many wonderful pop-up titles such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, A B C Disney, Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs, and Movable Mother Goose. He also created Mommy? by Maurice Sendak, The Pop-Up Book of Nightmares, and The Pop-Up Book of Phobias. He lives in New York City.

Wonderful pop ups!!

This book is something that you or your grandchildren will cherish forever. It is a keepsake. The pop ups are so fascinating. Not only do you get the main pop up but all the small explanatory pop ups in the corners. I was thoroughly amazed at the work that went into this book. It is definitely worth the price. I plan to purchase all the other pop up books by Matt Reinhart.

My nephew LOVED this book

I bought this book for my nephew for his birthday. He carried it everywhere he went and didn't look at his other presents much until later.

Best Star Wars product ever

There isn't much else to be said that the other reviews don't say - clearly this is a winner. There is something magical about a non techie item that reveres the tech filled star wars universe. During Hurricane Ike in Tx, we had no power for nearly a week and my kids loved this book. There were so many delightful surprises in it, its a wonder of papercraft engineering that will delight for years to come.

A Great Kids Intro to the Original 3 Films

I bought this for my nephews, 3 and 7, and they love it. Even though their (good) parents won't let them watch Star Wars yet, they love being introduced to all these characters through this book.

The pop-ups are intricate and amazing. The multiple layers within layers on just one page is evidenced by the thickness of this book. The pop-ups cascade out to reveal a surprising number of characters from the original trilogy. Luke's boyhood friend Wedge is even in there.

The artwork is true art - reproductions of watercolor. The pop-ups aren't always true to form (the Death Star looks kind of like a squashed ping pong ball) but come on - it's a pop-up!

Great introductory Star Wars brainwashing. Highly recommended.
