Star Wars: A Pop-up guide to the Galaxy

2008-05-13
When I saw this book on Martha Stewarts' program, I knew I had to purchase it as a gift for my son-in-law who collects Star Wars items. This pop-up book is so creative and my son-in-law loves it , as well as, my two grandsons.

This is the best!

I originally bought this for my 38 yr old brother who is a die-hard Star Wars fan. When I received it I was so impressed that I had to order one for my husband too. I also couldn't help but show everyone at work how cool it was and they also ended up ordering them for their sons and husbands! The price is great for the quality!

Wonderful pop book for any Star Wars fan

I purchased one of these for my 5 year old son and one for my 10 year old nephew - a big hit with both of them. This would suit a Star Wars fan of any age really, as it's jam packed with information and the pop-up spaceships, creatures and planets are amazing.

bought for Grandson for Christmas

Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to Galaxy

I was floored when we opened this book! I have never seen such an intelligent way of creating a pop-up book in my life! There are sooo many pop-ups with excellent descriptions and at the end, real light-up lightsabers of two main characters. Unbelievable and worth the money!!

Great Book

fun book!

This book came wrapped in cellophane, so I did not preview it before mailing to my grandson. But he was very excited and said he LOVED it!

A Pop-Up joy for my son!

I just write to say that my son is four years old and he is already a very big Star Wars fan and that he just love this book. That book covers about everything for episodes 4-5-6. The pop-ups are very imaginatives and ingenious but I would recommend not to let you kid manipulate it especially if he or she is as young as my son. Some of the pop-ups are so complex that even I have to be carefull when I unfold them.

The last pop-up has definetly a very nice touch to it with the two light-up caracters poping up (Luke and darth Vader). A must for every Star wars fan!

Amazing Book!

Thanks to all the wonderful reviews, I ordered this book with confidence for my 7 year old son who is a total Star Wars fanatic. The first book I received was defective and only one of the light sabres lit up. Amazon was fantastic and shipped a replacement that I got the very next day. THANKS AMAZON!! Order this book for the Star Wars lover -- they will flip over it. My son cannot put it down. My suggestion is that if you order it for a gift, open it first to make sure the light sabres both work. I love ordering from Amazon because I know they will always make it right.

very nicely put together

This book is full of surprise fold-outs and visually pleasing pictures. My 4-yr-old needs supervision to prevent damage to the book and to help him find all of the fold-outs
