Several years back - I think it was somewhere around December 10th, 2005 - we spread the good word about a book called Droidmaker: George Lucas and the Digital Revolution, a detailed, acclaimed, behind-the-scenes look at various technology companies of the George Lucas empire. At the time, author Michael Rubin had put up the book's eighteenth chapter, a fascinating examination of the early days of Lucasfilm Games, up on his blog.
Now we receive word that the book has recently gotten a Kindle re-release. If you've ever had any interest in the genesis of companies like LucasArts, Pixar, and Industrial Light and Magic (or if, to put it a simpler way, you read Mojo), Rubin's insider look at the story behind them is by all accounts compelling stuff. Check out the new digital release or stick with the easier-to-cuddle analog version, if you prefer.
And maybe stay tuned for a review of Droidmaker from us sometime in the future. Who knows, crazier things have happened.

I've never bought digital books, so I have to ask... do you have to have one of those kindle devices they sell on Amazon in order to read it, or would I be able to read it on my PC?
You can read it on PC, Kindle for PC. You can also download the Kindle App for any Android or iOS device, and read it on there. Only way I read books now a days.
