NON-FICTION?
Obsessed With Star Wars - Test Your Knowledge of a Galaxy Far, Far Way - 2,500 Questions
by Benjamin Harper (Chronicle Books, 320 pages, $32.95 hardcover)
So what we have here is a 320-page book consisting of 2,500 multiple-choice questions about the various Star Wars movies, with a little electronic module that selects a question for you, beeps excitedly when you press the correct answer button, keeps track of your score, comes with two AAA batteries. . . . OK, who am I kidding? This is a toy, not a book. But it has a cover that opens and closes, and real paper pages inside, and the publisher is Chronicle Books, not Mattel, and anyway, The Record doesn't have a "toy review" page. As for the questions, I got three out of five right on my first try. -- Hal Goodman
