Th
is "Star Wars: The Blueprints" coffee table book was published by 47 North and released in 2013.  This is the THE book to have if you're interested in the original film sets and their elements from the classic and prequel SW films.  It was never read and only removed from the shipping box to make sure the corners weren't destroyed and such, then again for this listing.  I have only handled this with the utmost of respect - very carefully turning a page to inspect and/or photograph it.  Still, I know a few of the pages have thumb-like stress marks to some pages, but this would have happened at the time of manufacture (anyone who has seen videos on book manufacturing and assembly know how workers handle the huge stacks of paper that are cut down and then bound into book format - not with a lot of care, unfortunately).  So, while it may appear at first glance that someone wasn't as careful with a page as they should have been, please know that nothing happened on my watch, and any tiny mark came directly from the publisher this way.  I can only assume that the other copies from this early printing were treated the same way.  I am not trying to scare you - the condition is still what I would call near mint, and the book is quite beautiful overall.  There's no horribly bungled pages, off-cuts, or anything like that.  I truly think any fan will love this book, especially the price I am offering it for.  This is a heavy book, but you will get FREE shipping via USPS Media Mail.
