This book, the latest volume in the Star Wars Art coffee table book series, was supposed to be out on Tuesday but maybe it’s out early because I got it from Amazon on 9/25. Whatever the case may be, it features pages upon pages of the best commercial art done for the saga, featuring many of your favorite illustrators, including Drew Struzan, Tsuneo Sanda, Jerry Vanderstelt, Brian Rood, Matt Busch, and Hugh Fleming. Their works appeared on book covers, posters, boxes, and whatever else that would grab your attention and your wallet. Unlike the previous books which featured all new art or some new art, this one is all stuff that has appeared somewhere before. But they’re cool anyway and many pieces are probably ones you haven’t seen in years. And for you SWPAS readers, it’s got a pretty good spread of pieces from the whole series.

Finally got Star Wars Art Visions at CVI. I broke down there because I wasn’t spending that much money at the Exhibition Hall and doubted I could talk myself into it anywhere else. Well worth it, and really want to see this.
