In 2011, Lucasfilm put out the limited edition Star Wars: The Blueprints and I blogged about it. That was limited to 5000 copies and the price ranges from $300 to $1000 depending on which numbered copy you're getting.
Now, they are putting out a more affordable edition at a retail price of US$100, less on Amazon. The content is the same.
It's authored by J. W. Rinzler who already has several star wars books to his name.
It's a 336-page hardcover with a size that's close to a 24-inch monitor. It's heavy and might incur additional shipping surcharges depending on where you're shipping to.
The book collects the concept drawings, the blueprints, basically of the mechanical stuff from the Star Wars galaxy. There's lots of writeup.
It could be good if you want to create some 3D models.
The videos below are of the limited edition. Content of the 2013 edition is the same.

If you buy from any links on the blog, I get a little commission that helps me get more art books to feature.

Wow, that's great news! For me as a 3d artist this book is a "must have" and I'm glad that there will be a normal edition with lower price :D Do you know if there will be possible to buy this book at the bookdepository (I mean normal edition, not limited)?

Cool book, great for fans BUT 400$ is way out of line with this one. I am a SW fan but not that desperate.

I purchased a copy from Amazon for $60....it is a beautiful book and well worth the cost IMO. I love it and consider it one of my favorites of my collection of Star Wars books. So glad they offered this version with a much more reasonable price. And yes, Ricardo, it is essentially the same book from a couple years ago. Different cover and no slipcase, but other than that it is the same.
