I won it in an auction.
All my Ewok cartoons are on VHS.
Can any one find where this cell is from?........................................................no? :?
I think you'll agree with me that it wouldn't be right to post up anymore photos from the content, it's evident that a lot of research and hard work has gone into this and I wouldn't want to impinge on that by being so free with publishing a further selection of printed pages.Pomse2001 said:Nice book martin, may we see more pictures from that book ? it looks awesome
I've got to agree, Jez- it's a real feast for the eyes. Detailed photographs on every page, inspired descriptions... it's one to add to your list of future purchases mate, that's for sure.Jez said:
I'm going to sound like Stephane Faucourt's number one fan here... but I can't extol the virtues of this mind boggling tome enough to do it justice...skywalker said:
Hey Grant, at the risk of sounding like a Stephane Faucourt obsessive/stalker/weirdo admirer (*delete as appropriate), I think you'll get my general feelings on this publication in my post above :lol:Maulster79 said:
Yes, you did. Glad to hear they are now in the hands of a fine curator.Nick_IoW said:

Bram, I'm always fascinated by the various logos that inhabit the vintage Star Wars world... good to hear of the history behind these latest acquisitions, and to see they've gone to another appreciative collector.
Cracking collection of autographs, Grant- I like the idea of you only acquiring them in person, gives them much more kudos. Even better when you can get a photo of the actual signing, great shot.
This substantial tome arrived today:
I was first made aware of this fine publication when Jason posted a photo of his copy from CE2 (thanks for the order reservation link, mate).
240 printed pages, packed with photographs and information from 1977 to 1986... this will keep me occupied for many weeks to come. Nice to see my copy was signed by the author, too!
Square cardback vintage goodness:
...and I didn't realise there was a first phase released in France on the standard sized card:
Well worth the total cost (including priority shipping) of €40.

For someone like me who revels in the various 'foreign' licensees that took on the General Mills product and attached their own unique spin on the marketing and merchandising... all I can say is: I'm in vintage heaven.
Pass on my regards next time you meet up with Steph for a beer, will you? :wink:

Briefly: there are detailed sections on French press coverage right from the start, the action figures, vehicles and playsets all in their varying vintage glory, adverts and catalogues from Miro-Meccano (showing detailed photographs of every page)... the list goes on. Honestly mate, if you have the slightest bit of interest in how other companies marketed their Star Wars wares, then you won't be disappointed with this publication.
Forgive me, Stephane... but I'm sure you won't begrudge one last photo from your knowledgable book:
I love this montage of the vintage price stickers... in French Francs, naturally- long before the Euros made their mark. Utterly priceless, in my eyes :wink:
