Oh boy, I've pre-ordered my hand-signed copy a few weeks ago and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Anybody has it already?

There's a sample rancor spread shown on the starwars.com feature here, but the photo does not do the book justice. The corner panels open up to reveal smaller pop-ups, and much of the art is in the actual unfolding of the pop-up.
Don't expect to find much in terms of new information; this is more a celebration Star Wars in pop-up form that goes lightyears beyond any of the previous Star Wars pop-ups int terms of paper engineering.
To really get a taste of what we're talking about here, check out some of the videos from an exhibition in Japan devoted to Robert Sabuda - Videos from Japan Seibu Gallery.

This was on The Colbert Report and I missed it? Aw, man... I might have to try and find that video. Any idea when that episode originally aired, Mr. Chee?

I notice, Tasty, that you seem to have taken a more active interest in this book than in the average SW product. Are pop-up books a particular interest of yours?

Pop-up books are friggin' awesome! How can you not have a really big interest in 'em?!
I've always loved pop-up books, they're just so awesome. I've always wanted to make one, too. I would study pop-up books just to see how they're made, and the more complex, the better.
I am so buying this book!

When you get a chance to actually see Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy
you'll know why I'm so excited about it.
And don't ask me to confirm or deny that the original suggested title for the book was Star Wars Holocron: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy.

I take it this book is alot more complex than the average pop-up book on the market now? Over the years, it seemed to me that pop-up books had gotten more and more simplistic, without as many detailed paper fold-outs and lever-action nifty lil sliders and such.
I need to get to a bookstore... I wanna see this! You got my hopes up, I gotta know if the craftmanship that went into the pop-ups are as complex and detailed as I imagine 'em to be!
