    Usually I just post the picture when these arrive, but now that my channel is live, I’m raring to talk about how excited I was to get this.

    @Roas, there are the reading copies, and those you display in your bookcase.

    The one you take to the park, which you don’t mind getting if it gets dropped/damaged.

     

    Curious: Do you have a list of hardcovers you are still looking for?

    Heh, with the exception of my signed copy of Fire in the Heavens, I’ve always just considered every book I own as read and display, because there is always a memory attached to each of them. Unless it was falling apart, like a few of my Wheel of Time paper backs, I never took my books out of the house. I’ve always been the read at home in comfort kind of guy. And since I can chew up a 400+ page book in a couple of days, the books generally do spend most of their lives on the shelf.

    I’m down to my last three, two recovery and one I never had. Dark Force Rising and Last Command are next, but I’m done with my purchasing for the month…unless the copy of Last Command I’m eyeing drops $10…then I’ll snatch it up, but otherwise it can wait til the next month’s budget. And since it came out so late in the runs I never owned a copy of Tatooine Ghost, so I want to get that as well.

    After that all I’m missing is Dark Empire. I don’t need that immediately, since it’s a comic and not a novel. Hell, during my original read throughs it was at least a year after I finished the Jedi Academy Trilogy before I finally got my hands on my trade paperback of Dark Empire. Until then I hadn’t had the opportunity to fully read it. I’ve got a good story how I first found out about it on a vacation to MGM Studios and then a contest for all six Platinum grade issues at a Barnes&Noble I thought I had a 100% chance at winning…and was quickly humbled thereafter when I failed miserably.

      I have a book shelf of nothing but Star Wars books with all the originals in Hardcover if one was made. I read them all. They are canon to me!

      @Legatus_Legionis Indeed…I still remember the day I got my copy of Last Command, the excitement of the conclusion…though….that cover art of Mara always bugged me. I never bought the PT books. The movies were enough for me.


      @DarthVengeant
      There is no other canon. Lucas had approval power over it all and disapproves of Disney Star Wars. That’s all the confirmation I’ll ever need.

      OH, I had to dig a box from under my staircase.

      I’ll post pics this afternoon.

      I am sure at least will be a surprise and might enlist a “I want it! I want it!” response.  LOL

      @Roas As a writer, you know that there are things you can put into print that does not reflect well in other medias.

      Emotions, thoughts, feelings, motivations, details, etc. some of which only a screenplay of novelization can fully explain.

      Which is why I am a big believer in movie novel-adaptions.

      The same goes for having the novel a movie is based on.  To which we can see what it was based on, and what was removed/altered/left on the cutting room floor/etc.

       

      Fans of the LotRs was a prime example of it.
