The Essential Guide to Warfare: Star Wars

I give Star Wars The Essential Guide to Warfare four stars for only 1 reason: It is no longer cannon. Besides that fact, the book is really great. I like the exquisite artwork, the detailed maps, the in-depth information and the pictures of the ships, weapons and characters (I know these also count as artwork but they are very helpful, especially the pictures of those ships, weapons and characters not seen in the movies or TV shows.) I purchased my copy of the book from the Star Wars Action Team rewards store and it came with the added bonus of having been signed by the author himself. It was a really good source for EU fans but I suspect it will become less and less sought after as the new official Expanded Universe emerges.

I am a huge fan of the Star Wars EU, and having recently got an iPad, this was a no brainer. It's a beautiful interactive textbook filled with war stories and accompanying artwork. The art is incredible. It's very detailed and it adds a lot to the equally engaging stories that book tells. If you love Star Wars, then this is a book that you should certainly get.

Now, some of the other reviews complain about it not opening and such. You must note that you can only read this on an iPad. I read this on an iPad 3, and it works very well.

I read this book and I loved every bit of it. You should read it too!
