Star Wars: A Scanimation Book: Iconic Scenes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

My copy of "Star Wars - A Scanimation Book" arrived with pages of illustrations ripped away and the binding broken. Some pages weren't even move. I was very disappointed. I really like being used books for my classroom but this book was well beyond used. Why would they even sell it in this condition?

I've always been intrigued and impressed by the Scanimation line of animated picture books. Their lo-fi eye candy is especially compelling in todays increasingly digital world. As soon as I saw the Star Wars edition today, I bought it on the spot at a local bookstore. After I signed my slip I realized I was so blown away by the product I forgot to check the price before I bought it. Like all Scanimation books, the pictures are small in scope but big on animation. the animation is provided by alternating bands of tint, a very cool effect. Even the presence of several (3 or 4) scenes from the most recent three movies did not detract significantly from my enjoyment. An excellent book for any fan of any of the three movies, or pop-up/childrens book collectors.

My only complaint is that some of the pictures are very dark and hard to see. That said, my son (35 years) and my grandson (3 years) absolutely love this book.

I love this book. Received it for Fathers day and it is a must have for any fan.

A great new scanimation book. Love the Star Wars pictures, quotes, and reference to movie. A great gift for Star Wars fans of all ages.
