Star Wars fans already know DK Books are authoritative, in-depth, compelling and visually rich thanks to the Incredible Cross-Section, Inside the Worlds of... and Visual Dictionary series that have explored the Star Wars saga. They may have noticed the absence of an "ultimate guide" -- DK's hardcover top-to-bottom illustrated exploration of a fantastic subject, such as the guides they've published for Spider-Man, Batman, Hulk and The Transformers in the past.

This Fall, the time is right for Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide, written by saga expert Ryder Windham. The entire Star Wars experience is explored -- from the films, expanded universe, behind-the-scenes, collecting, Star Wars fandom, and more. It's the perfect introduction for new fans and an invaluable addition to every fan's collection. Here's a preview of some of the spreads in the book, which is due out in October.
