Straight from the Corellian Engineering Corporation, it's the essential guide for any entrepreneurial spacer to learn about the Yt-1300 series light freighter, and all of its modular components and options.

Oh, cool, they've done an updated version. I have the original one from 2012, before New Coke Episode VII et al. (Judging by the copy of the io9 article, the author didn't know it's a revision of an existing book.)

I have two favorite things about the original version of this book. One is that multi-configuration diagram that's shown in the io9 article, which is on page 15 of the original edition, and which shows that the "Portsider" (Daggerdisc) configuration is semi-hemi-demi-canonical.

The other is the "Operational History" section, which claims that the Millennium Falcon had many names before she was called that, one of which was Wayward Son.

I just picked up a copy of the 2012 version used. It's a fun read. I hope to score a used copy of the 2018 version as well, just for giggles. It would be nice to see what's changed.

My only wish is that the options on the multi-configuration diagram were a little better explained. My poor eyes can't make out all the differences.

ETA: Amazon *2* version of the 2018 volume, with different page counts, different ISBNs, and different publishers!

EETA: One UK publisher, one US publisher. Mystery solved!
