Agreed, the Encyclopaedia is lacking in detail and inconsistent with its
entries.
I loved the Technical Journal - in conjunction with the Essential Guides it
is great - unfortunately there is no one book dealing with all technical
aspects of the ships.
However, if it is film shots or artwork or detailed photographs of the
models - then I suggest you get a copy of The Star Wars Chronicles - it's
expensive (£100.00) but heavy and thick and definitely worth every penny.
If your budget doesn't quite stretch to this volume, then "The Art Of..."
books are good as well.
Andrew.
