This is certainly the kind of neat oversized picture book kids who like knowing how things are made would love. If you are a fan of the movies, even if you did not like the prequels as much, you may still like this book. It is a good book for fans of the vehicles in the movies.

This oversized volume contains 13 large and very detailed illustrations including one that has pull out pages. Each illustration includes some text and additional trivia. Illustrations are in full color, and the artists clearly paid a lot of attention to detail. You get pretty much every possible detail you can get.

Though it is a book for young readers, I think readers of all ages will enjoy it. This is definitely a good series for public libraries, though keep in mind they can wear and tear with ease. The public library copy I borrowed is pretty beat up in parts.

Overall, I really liked it.

4 out of 5 stars.
