I deeply admire all the work that was put into this book. Unfortunately, because I lack knowledge in pretty much everything related to vehicles and mechanics, I didn’t understand much of the finer points described in this. I do however think it would be a fantastic read for anyone who likes vehicles and Star Wars. There’s enough in there to become an expert of the CEC YT-1300f.

Wow, I've been wanting this book since long before it existed. It's a fantastic resource, and I can't wait to go scavenge some parts and use this manual to help me in building my own YT-1300.

Written as a repair manual for the YT-1300 with specific information about the Falcon in particular, I had a lot of fun reading this book. There are lots of specifics and diagrams to the point where you could probably build a very accurate cockpit replica for like a computer gaming room or kids bunk bed sort of thing using this for reference. It also includes excerpts from original marketing materials for the YT-1300, and information about the history of the Falcon and its previous owners.

Great for what it is even for its release. The newest version provides more in depth detail but this was a nice primer before they retconned a lot of the back story.

One of the most technically thorough books on a fictional craft and pseudoscience. It’s crazy the amount of detail that went into this. Love the schematics and diagrams. Didn’t care too much for the stock photography but overall helped paint a visual of what they were talking about.
