    I went to the local library's book sale today, and in the sci-fi stacks, I found what appears to be a first printing of The Empire Strikes Back novelization. At $.50, I felt I couldn't pass it up.

    What I'm wondering: is this find anything to be excited about or just another copy of TESB?

    It's in excellent condition. No visible cracking on spine, no corners bent or torn. Smells like a library.

    Publication date is listed as 1980.

    The cover is blue, with one of the older style posters in the middle.

    The back text reads:

    "Luke, Han, and Princess Leia's story didn't end with the destruction of the Death Star-in continues in
    Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
    Though they had won a significant battle, the war between the Rebels and the Empire had really just begun.
    Now, several months later, the Rebels have established an outpost on the frozen wasteland of Hoth. But even on that icy, backwater planet, they could not escape the evil Darth Vader's notice for long.
    Soon, Luke, Han, the princess and their faithful companions were forced to flee, scattering in all directions-the Dark Lord's minions in fevered pursuit."

    It also has a cast and crew list on the inside of the first page.
