"Star Wars" Chronicles Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've had this book for years and love flipping through it and looking at the production photos. It seems to have a closeup photo of every single thing from the original trilogy (sorry, no prequels). I remember for years (before the internet) it had the only good pictures of a Mon Calmari cruiser. The...

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Photo Comic Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This Star Wars book was well done in it's premise of a photo comic book. The pictures were clear and not fuzzy, and the wording was pretty accurate to the movie. $9.00 I think is a bit high for the price of it but considering the ink and paper that it's made on it's worth the price.It is an easy book...
Open Secrets: WikiLeaks, War, and American Diplomacy Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The title of "Open Secrets: Wikileaks, War and American Diplomacy" doesn't do much to explain what the book is about -or isn't about, so I'll start there. This is a collection of 93 articles about the contents and reaction to the Afghan and Iraq War logs, the cache of US State Department cables that...

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Movie Storybook Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Living in Japan has some disadvantages, one is that movies come out in theaters much later than in America.
