I just picked this (http://www.starwars.com/eu/lit/ref/news20070308.html) up today. ;D

Pretty cool book.  I've been waiting for something like this for a while.  The book has plenty of great looking illustrations, and gives a detailed history of the use of The Force in the Star Wars universe.  It goes into detail about the first attempts at tapping into this power, goes over the origins of the Jedi, Sith, and other Force-using groups, and expands on characters and events from the movies and the Expanded Universe.  One of the coolest features is the way the information is provided in the form of stories and anecdotes related by Star Wars characters. 

Anyone else plan on checking this out?

I saw this the other day while shopping for the wife.  It looked really interesting.  I received a couple of gift cards for Christmas so I may have to see what I have left over after I get the second Darth Bane book.
