Hello all.  My name's Adam & I used to run StarWarsFan.org & Prequel Watch with Carl C  from 1997 through 2005.  I've taken a break from the fan community for a while, but I now have some huge news to share.
 
I have a SW book coming out this Fall, and I want you to know about it.  
 
Our book about the Star Wars filming locations is hitting the streets Dec 1!  It's a complete reference guide to all the shooting locations, (and many other SW-related spots), in the US.  We did all the research, travel & photography ourselves.  We've been to all the locations multiple times and have put together a book which has no rival.  We provide detailed routes & directions, reference photographs & illustrations, maps, travel tips, personal experiences, historical background info & much more.
 
Visit and "Like" my book's page on Facebook at the link below.  I've begun to post some photos, and will be sharing more images & info in the weeks to come!  Take a look at it and spread the word to anyone you know who might be interested in this book as well!  Thanks a million in advance.

Hey Everyone,
 
It's been a long time coming, but my book is finally available for order!  The page on Kickstarter.com went live last night so check it out now!  Signed copies are available, along with many other cool items:
 
 
There you'll find great insights into the content & style of the book itself, including sample pages & photos.  Monument Press really did a fantastic job with the layout & design.  The final product is really beautiful.  We definitely achieved our goals with regard to the book's style & substance.  We've put together the reference book that's been missing from the selection for 30 years.  This complete body of information isn't presented anywhere else, period.  Also, we've managed to weave in the story of the making of the films themselves, as well as our personal adventures & connections to the movies & the locations.  And we managed to do it in a way that pulls the reader in visually from the very first page.
 
Signed first edition copies are available now ONLY on the Kickstarter page, along with many other very cool & exclusive rewards that will only be available for the next 30 days.  This project hasn't been cheap, as you can imagine.  We've encountered quite a number of substantial production costs and we need your pledges, purchases & help in a big way.  Visit the Kickstarter page now, make your pledge, and get your signed copy!
 
Thanks to everyone for sticking with us through the recent delays, and for supporting the project now that it's finally off the ground.  
 
Also, be sure to check out both our Facebook page & our permanent web page, (currently being developed):
 
 
 
 
Thanks a million, in advance,
 
Adam
