Please contribute to the thread for link.
Montana Smith said:I'm thinking this is the same book as The Star Wars Archives, by Mark Cotta Vaz and Shinji Hata, (Virgin Books, 1995), which I have as a 208 page hardback book and a 137MB .cbr file. I'm not sure, though, whether your's is an updated version.
JuniorJones said:It's the repackaged version. Ker-ching!!
This is available for purchase via Amazon.com. Personally, I think making entire books like this available is crossing the line. Glad to see that you didn't post a link so that no random 'guests' could wander in a get it for free.McSeem said:From Star Wars to Indiana Jones: The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives
Do anyone need this?
"...wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King." Agreed about the clutter but notes of appreciation are always nice to hear and make things seem a little more worthwhile. Hats off to Junior and the rest.Attila the Professor said:I think there's just a natural reluctance to clutter the thread with what could only be superfluous commentary. The files are the thing.
Junior Jones said:I think as a resource the thread excellent source of information but an issue I never anticipated, regarding the complete items, was resistance from fans who feel it devalues the items not necessarily in fianancial terms but in it's exclusivity. I don't feel this is done in an elilist manner maybe moral.
Prehaps we need to devise some guidlines as to what is or isn't acceptable as I would not like this thread to turn sour and stuff goes underground.
In my view, magazine & newspaper articles, advertisements, graphics & other obscure ephemera are O.K. but not complete books like the "Lucasfilm Archives".Montana Smith said:Legally, there may be issues, but there are things like the magazines, and the role-playing material, that are out of print, and hard to obtain used. Presenting them digitally would have no effect on sales of these items, as they aren't available new. The only way to obtain them would be to pick them up second hand - so the market they affect is the second-hand one. Even then, if you only want to read an article, rather than possess the actual 'artifact', you aren't likely to pay much for it.
Once in possession of a digitial copy, one is less likely to seek out and $pend ca$h for 'the real McKoy'. Making certain things available, for FREE, could hurt the future of Indy literature/publications...not to mention the open doors to piracy. The problem is where to draw the line and that is something the mods should probably discuss amongst themselves (with a strong recommendation of MAJOR publications being out-of-bounds).Montana Smith said:To my mind a digital copy is never a substitute for the real thing. A digital copy is useful for reference, but it doesn't have the same feel good factor of possessing the actual book.
