New Jedi Order Legacy Of The Force Current Results More Books Incoming Posted By Paul on March 20, 2008 Alert fans have spotted evidence on-line for two up-coming books projects. First, you may remember that we ran a story last month on a rumored Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, a sequel to the original 1998 Star Wars Encyclopedia by Steve Sansweet. Well, Random House now have a listing online for the book, claiming a November 4th release. This now stands alongside the original Amazon.com listing... but there's also Steve Sansweet's own advice to take into account. Sansweet urged caution. We know that he's working on a project with Pablo Hidalgo, but until we hear official confirmation, we should be wary of taking these listings on trust. The fact there are now two pages for this book makes the news more likely to be true, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily accurate yet. Thanks to Zee Zee from UK-based fansite Star Wars Books for the heads-up on that one! Secondly, the eagle-eyed and indefatigable Eddie van der Heijden from the fan timeline site Once Upon a Galaxy has spotted an announcement from Penguin Books, revealing a whole slew of Young Readers titles tied-in with The Clone Wars, all due for a 26th July release: this link takes you to the original PDF file. We don't have any titles yet, but there's a list of several books: a $6.99 novel (bear in mind that this is almost certainly a young readers book); a $4.99 activity book; a $6.99 photobook; a "jacketed picture book" at $16.99 (I'm assuming this one's a hardback); and a storybook and a "reader" both at $3.99. It looks like there's quite a spread aimed at the younger fan here. The interesting thing is that these books are coming out from Penguin, or to be more specific, their Grosset & Dunlap imprint. I don't think they've done any Star Wars books before, though they're part of the same publishing conglomerate as Dorling Kindersley, who've done a lot of Star Wars books over the years, and they were also involved with the distribution of the Star Wars audiobooks until 2007. Update: the sharp-eyed Zee Zee from fansite Star Wars Books has contacted us again... this time with some extra information about the kids' books, mainly gleaned from Amazon. No titles yet, but we can now ascribe an author to each book on the list, and while none of these writers seems to have been involved with Star Wars before, they all do have some background in the sort of tie-in books that they're involved with here: * The $6.99 novel is written by Tracey West, who's written a number of children's books, perhaps most notably in the Pokemon franchise. * Rob Valois, who has edited a number of manga collections for TokyoPop, is credited with the $4.99 activity book, and the $16.99 "jacketed picture book". * The $6.99 photobook is by Zachary Rau, who has been involved with similar adaptations for animated movies including Cars and Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie, again for TokyoPop. * The $3.99 storybook and "reader" are by Mayer Kirsten and Steven Brezenoff. Not sure which author goes with which title there, but I suspect "Meyer Kirsten" may be the Kirsten Meyer who some sites list as editor on another TokyoPop volume, while Brezenoff co-compiled a Buffy tie-in called The Quotable Slayer, and has a book called The Thing in the Woods coming out from children's book publisher Stone Arch. Of course, we'll bring you more news on these stories as soon as we hear it! email this story discuss in forums Select Date 2008, May 2008, April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, January 2007, December 2007, November 2007, October 2007, September 2007, August 2007, July 2007, June 2007, May 2007, April 2007, March 2007, February 2007, January 2006, December 2006, November 2006, October 2006, September 2006, August 2006, July 2006, June 2006, May 2006, April 2006, March 2006, February 2006, January 2005, December 2005, November 2005, October 2005, September 2005, August 2005, July 2005, June 2005, May 2005, April 2005, March 2005, February 2005, January 2004, December 2004, November 2004, October 2004, September 2004, August 2004, July 2004, June 2004, May 2004, April 2004, March 2004, February 2004, January 2003, December 2003, November 2003, October 2003, September 2003, August 2003, July 2003, June 2003, May 2003, April 2003, March 2003, February 2003, January 2002, December 2002, November 2002, October 2002, September 2002, August 2002, July 2002, June 2002, May 2002, April 2002, March 2002, February 2002, January 2001, December 2001, November 2001, October 2001, September 2001, August 2001, July 2001, June 2001, May 2001, April 2001, March 2001, February 2001, January 2000, December 2000, November 2000, October 2000, September 2000, August 2000, July 2000, June 2000, May 2000, April 2000, March 2000, February 2000, January 1999, December 1999, November 1999, October 1999, September 1999, August 1999, July 1999, June 1999, May 1999, April 1999, March 1999, February 1999, January 1998, December 1998, November 1998, October 1998, July 1998, June Invincible Book Tour Posted By Jay on May 6, 2008: See Troy Denning at a city near you!
