Saturday Morning Central loves DK Publishing. They publish all sorts of awesome books that are equally as cool for adults as they are for kids. Back in October they let me participate in their blog team for the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary celebration they had, and it was a lot of fun. Now they’re back with another Star Wars book, the Star Wars Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia.
The title is pretty self-explanatory, and if you’ve ever had one of DK’s books before, you know what to expect: large spreads of images packed to the gills with information and trivia. This title is no different. It’s just over 200 pages long, and has just as many characters. Since this is a character encyclopedia, obviously there isn’t any sections devoted to ships or planets, but you probably already knew that.
One nice thing about this book compared to some of their past Star Wars books is the size. It’s not a huge, coffe-table-sized book. It’s a little smaller than a piece of printer paper and about an inch think, but it’s packed with just as much information.
If you don’t want this for yourself, chances are, your kids are going to want it. If I decide not to keep it I know I’m going to have a ton of nieces and nephews fighting over it.
It’s out now and it’s pretty cheap, so do the Star Wars fan in your life a favor and pick up a copy!
