Ack! No, you seem to be getting the major ones. I usually just browse these
things at the bookstores. I am not much for buying them.
My only "suggestion" is more of a wish. I wish the Star Wars technical type
manuals were a little more detailed. The "Essential Guides" are nice, but
they are so plain. Compare them to some of the Star Trek technical manuals.
Those often have a wealth of detail in glorious color. I was just looking at
this one for ST: DS9, and thinking how I wish the SW books looked that good.
