really liked it

For the record, I read a yellowing 1977 edition complete with "16 pages of full-color photos from this spectacular space-fantasy motion picture." Ah, the nostalgia...

Such a fun read!

Nyon Smith Yea I found the 1977 copy on my bookshelf tonight. Read it when I was like 11. Wonder if it's a collectors item?


message 8: by Bonnie (new)

Bonnie I still have my copy, too! Along with a whole treasure trove of stuff from the original release - the Kenner toys (the Death Star play set!), the Topps bubble gum cards, the “Story Of Star Wars� album (an LP with an abbreviated version of the movie story, using music and dialogue from the film . . .)


Tony Talbot My brother had the normal LP... Had the curve of Tattooine below a star field. Semi related note: Seeing John Williams live at the Royal Albert Hall in October!

John I’m reading a similar 1977 yellowing copy right now. I was 8 years old when this movie came out and it seems like it was a defining moment in my childhood. Great to relive it.

Tony Talbot "What's a duck?"

John I also just finished an old, yellowing 1977 copy that was a former library book, with the check-out card still on the back cover. It was a fun nostalgic read.
