Seems like the book had an earlier edition. Well, this 2006 edition now adds a full-colour illustration for each of the species. The art looks good, and that was what attracted me in the first place.

The book certainly looks quite comprehensive, with coverage for all six Star Wars movies. There's plenty to read and muse about. There are species traits, habitat and sometimes even their pronunciation. It provides the background to better understand the universe.

There are actually 228 pages instead of 240 as listed on Amazon.

Recommended to all Star Wars fans.
