My copy was waiting for me at home last night. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, and they delivered on the release date, true to their word!
This book is interesting because it's a little bit of a departure from previous DK reference books. They seem to have folded multiple reference books into one single volume. Whereas we used to get a Visual Dictionary plus an Incredible Cross-Sections book, and perhaps a locations book, this is a single book that appears to cover most of those bases.
I think this book provided some excellent background material on the organization of the Rebel Alliance. That in itself made this a great read.

Love the visual dictionary. Requires very close reading.

This edition especially. There's a lot more reading material in this book than in the standard Visual Dictionaries, and it does help to flesh out the story that much more.
