Author	Topic: "The Making Of Star Wars" Book Signing - Sat. May 5
JedHead1 Title: Chapter Rep San Francisco Fan Force Registered: Feb '99	Date Posted: 4/22/07 11:52am Subject: "The Making Of Star Wars" Book Signing - Sat. May 5 - Date Edited: 4/22/07 12:10pm (4 edits total) Edited By: JedHead1
	Author J.W. Rinzler, executive editor at Lucasfilm Ltd., is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Making of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, as well as The Art of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, The Art and Making of Monster House, and Creating the Worlds of Star Wars, which he co-authored with visual-effects supervisor John Knoll. On April 24, he is releasing his latest (and highly anticpated) book, The Making Of Star Wars. This is the first time that a book has been made on the making of the original film. Hard to believe! Filled with rare photos, interviews, and stories, this book has been sought after fans (like me) for a long time! Location: Book Passage, Corte Madera Date: Saturday, May 5 Time: 12:00 Noon - ? The folks at Book Passage in Corte Madera have asked the GGG to participate, including Dale, Elton, and yours truly. A special astromech droid may also make an appearance as well. Not sure if Mr. Rinzler will be making an appearance at CIV. He doesn't do too many appearances/signings as far as I know, so this is a rare treat. I'm bringing my other books to get signed as well. Hope some of you can make it and support the book and the GGG! Here's some info on the book: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Star-Wars-Definitive-Original/dp/0345494768/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-2777380-3464144?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175539317&sr=8-1 -----signature----- In Loving Memory of Chanel Cheri Vanecek (Feb. 7, 1980 - Oct. 25, 2003) http://www.sffanforce.com/members/chanel/Chanelmemorialbadge.jpg "You like me because I'm a scoundrel." - Han Solo http://endorbase.org/

	All of the costumed participants have been met, Eva. I hear it's a small store, so they only wanted four of us. -----signature----- In Loving Memory of Chanel Cheri Vanecek (Feb. 7, 1980 - Oct. 25, 2003) http://www.sffanforce.com/members/chanel/Chanelmemorialbadge.jpg "You like me because I'm a scoundrel." - Han Solo http://endorbase.org/

	I will probably be going to this. Kick it old school for Star Wars But I wonder what it would have been like if Lippincott actually wrote it? -----signature----- There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for!

	The book is cheaper on Amazon. Will the store have a problem if one brings in a copy to sign, rather than buy from them?

	Good question. You might want to contact the bookstore about that. I hope Costco gets it. -----signature----- In Loving Memory of Chanel Cheri Vanecek (Feb. 7, 1980 - Oct. 25, 2003) http://www.sffanforce.com/members/chanel/Chanelmemorialbadge.jpg "You like me because I'm a scoundrel." - Han Solo http://endorbase.org/

	I have a feeling they don't care. This is the same bookstore that when Sean Astin was signing his book There and Back Again, one of the sales ladies said to a customer wondering why there were so many people in the store that he was in the LOTR movies (which she hadn't seen)and then added, "He's Patty Duke's son" That drew a reaction. The staff was surprised that so many showed up and that there were so many fans of LOTR. -----signature----- There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for!

	My book came today, way earlier than I had thought. But, yay! I read a lot of it at the bookstore yesterday. I gave in not able to wait for my copy in the mail.
