C-3PO's purpose may be human-cyborg relations but he also makes a snazzy cover model for this 1977 Letraset Star Wars exercise book, especially set against the starry blue background.
This 24-page faint ruled exercise book has survived from my childhood. I say survived, but, well... there's not much of this book left. The pages are gone - it's just the cover remaining. But it's here, so this Threepio collectable gets documented on this blog.
I love the fact that on the back there are some "inter-galactic" translations of a handful of English words in to strange alien languages such as French, German and Italian!
On the inside of the cover there are some stickers - E.T. and Weetabix - I've even included a photo of these for your amusement (or your disgust, if you're a purist who can't stand the thought of a kid in the 70s spoiling this future collectors item). At least I had the foresight to keep this.
Is Uncle Owen interested in buying this collectors item?
Perhaps, if the back of the book had some bocce translations! Complete and good condition examples may fetch £25+. Not sure about the cover only. Sure, there's a value, but I wouldn't be sure on guessing. Funnily enough, the stickers inside may add to the value.
