Klappentext

This five-volume archival masterpiece consolidates a half century of Star Wars merchandise history into a single, unified source, documenting everything from celebrated toys to obscure international household treasures. A reliable and organized starting point for research into any Star Wars collection, this box set is the encapsulation of Star Wars super collector and master archivist Geoffrey T. Carlton's career-spanning quest to transition the physical legacy of the franchise from scattered hobbyist knowledge into a permanent, structured, and accessible record.
Key Features:

• Massive, Unparalleled Visual Archive: With more than 2,000 pages and 60,000 images, the five-book box set's expansive scale stretches far beyond a "best of" list, allowing readers to finally identify and organize every corner of their collections.
• "Museum in Print" Documentation Style: Moving beyond the limitations of standard price guides, the set focuses on high-definition archival imagery and technical data rather than volatile market pricing, establishing it as a permanent reference tool.
• Inclusive Global Scope of Star Wars Treasures: The books display a sprawling galaxy of toys (including action figures, crafts, figures, games, and models) and household treasures (art, automobile accessories, bedding and towels, books, cards, clothing, computers and accessories, dishes, furniture, jewelry, media, packaging on all sorts of food items and household goods, party supplies, and more).
  This box set transforms five decades of collecting chaos into an organized and enduring visual narrative.
