Does anyone know if there was any type of new book or anything at CV?

I was curious about that as well. I'd love a tour of his art that was at C5, actually. I'd gladly go see that. A book going with it would be welcome as well though.

Yes, there was a Limited Edition softcover book for $20 that showed everything that was on display as well as the placards that were next to each print explaining the particular piece. I really enjoyed the exhibit. All the pieces, no matter how small and rough were just great because they all conveyed the feeling that this is where Star Wars came from. The last piece in the exhibit was from Indy. It was the original illustration from the bible showing the power of the ark. It gave me goosebumps. 8)

Thanks for the info.
Any idea if this can be ordered anywhere?

The book was limited to 1000 copies, so I don't know if there are any more to sell or if they'll be doing a separate print run for sale later.

Thanks CB. Took a shot and ordered this book on a whim. I've always liked the McQ work so I hope it turns out to be worthwhile!

I just got it.
Its small but it has some unique things in it and you can't go wrong with RM.
The other two books Dreams and Visions offer are amazing, the Celebration Japan book is great just for Star Wars and the other has allot of his other work, which is amazing as well.
Its funny, I grew up on Star Wars, but there allot of other things I remember as a kid of course...one of them was Bigfoot.
RM has a connection there as well, he did artwork for two of the best Bigfoot films ever, Legend of Boggy Creek and Creature From Black Lake.(also for a Boggy Creek sequel), all of which are in the Dreams and Visions book.
Great stuff all around.

This is indeed cool and I think I'll pick this up. I'm a McQuarrie-holic, so even if it's art I have, I'm still intrigued to have it in another format for some reason. The only carded figures I display (besides vintage) are the McQuarrie Concept set from the 30th AC... And only because they're the art. Even have a box of tissues from 1980 with McQuarrie art on them... Was too weird to pass by.

I got mine for like $10 or $15 at the local toy show. TOo weird to pass up.

The book has the art from the Art of Ralph McQuarrie exhibit at C5 and is mostly new stuff we haven't seen before. The art was found in a forgotten folder in Ralph's house. I should have picked the book up at C5 but didn't for some reason, so I just ordered it now. Too bad shipping is a ridiculous $12, but I think it'll be worth having the book.

I think it was worth it.
Anyone know of a definitve list of McQuarrie books?

I ordered two and split the shipping with 'I am Sith'. Made the 13 upcharge for shipping much easier to swallow! I guess based on ordering on Monday I'll probably get the book later this week.

Did this sell out at CV?
Confussed on how many they made if it did.
Maybe the limit was just what they would sell at CV and make the rest available to people who could not attend.

I think it said on the website that there were 1000 of them. But I don't believe it sold out at CV. I'm pretty sure they still had them on the table Sunday when I stopped in for the trading cards.
I know Joe K bought a copy, Doc, and I think a couple other PSWCS members did also, but through all the stops I made to the McQuarrie room I don't think I saw anyone else buy one. The Metallix prints on the other hand, those were flying even at $60 a pop.

Love his stuff.
I have a small print that they sent to people who Pre ordered the Art of RM book, should get that framed, its a neat pic.
Wonder what edition Joe K got of that one, I know he is a big fan as well.
When is he having a meeting again?
LMK next time yoiu guys are going to hang.

There were a lot of prints of McQuarrie's stuff at CV, ranging from about $50 up, including the 12 Metallix prints and the show piece which was $180. At CV I bought the Art of Ralph McQuarrie book and I know Joe has it also, but I think he ordered it and didn't pick it up at the show. There's also the Japanese book in softcover that's out, and now this one which has the new art that was found recently.
I'm kind of hoping Joe or someone else in the Scranton/WB area holds a meeting sometime as those are close enough for me to drive down for. I think Brad K's September meeting is the last one on the books right now for this year, but there's time to get in another before the toy drives in December.

I got my books today. Its really well done - I didn't think it would be "full size". I've only flipped through it so far but I'll put it on the nightstand and read it later this evening.
