There's also a great one written by Toshio Suzuki that came out a year ago, about being the producer on all those movies (except Cagliostro). It's written as a single book and reveals a lot about his producing style (which mainly seems to be encouraging risk even when Miyazaki wants to do his usual thing) Very revealing look at how it was Suzuki's perseverance that REALLY gets these guys to work, too. Looks like it's already out of print, but I really recommend it for hardcore fans. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mixing-work-pleasure-Toshio-Suzuki/dp/4866580224/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=toshio+suzuki&qid=1565518902&s=instant-video&sr=1-1-catcorr

http://listverse.com/ put out a great book that is like a bunch of Cracked.com articles, The Ultimate Book of Bizarre Lists. I have not read their other book, The Ultimate Book of Top 10 Lists but I enjoyed the other book so much I am definitely going out and getting it.

This is a really entertaining book similar to Cracked.com articles, The Book of Lists: Horror.

And of course, Cracked.com put out their own book You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News

Did a search of the image.

I very much enjoyed Starting Point but have not yet read Turning Point because, come on, that thing has been out for five years and they still can't do a paperback edition? I know the second I buy the hardcover a cheaper edition that looks more aesthetically pleasing on my shelf will be announced. I can't let them win.

If anyone's looking for more Ghibli reading that gets into the history of the studio and the personalities therein, Toshio Suzuki's Mixing Work with Pleasure is a good read too.

I think Starlog published them. They had floor plans of the Falcon and diagrams of droids and stuff. The most notable thing I remember was that R5-D4 had a different name: a long string of characters that started with R2. That actually matches the movie dialogue and Lucas's intentions better than the Kenner name for "Red."

EDIT: OK, not that hard to find. Here is the collection of all three issues into a book:

The absolute best one, on my opinion, would be [Gothic by Fred Botting] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gothic-Critical-Idiom-Fred-Botting/dp/0415831725/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377094092&sr=8-2&keywords=gothic+botting).

This is part of Routledge's New Critical Idiom series, which is a really excellent series of introductions. They cover most topics and the ones that I've read, Gothic included, are of a very high quality. You might also be interested in Adrian Day's [Romanticism] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Romanticism-New-Critical-Idiom-Aidan/dp/0415460263/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377094199&sr=8-1&keywords=new+critical+idiom+romanticism), which has a section on the gothic and, again, is very well done.

Brains!!!! Oh wait I'm sorry I thought you were asking zombies for an answer. Read Zombie CSU and I do believe that you will find Humanity will prevail.

Mine was bought on amazon UK, I'm pretty sure that and eBay will be the easiest options.

May I suggest On the Warrior Path by Daniele Bolelli the author is a friend of mine and I think is one of the better written books on Warrior-ship.

Daffodils! They're so common but when you start seeing them you know that winter is coming to an end and the weather is getting better.

Canon is that they're all suppose to be mobile, because that's how the ships manoeuvre at warp speed. Either it's just difficult to do that with models rather than cgi, or they didn't think that up until later. Or both.
