"In February, 2009 StarWars.com interviewed Bob Miller, creator of the most expansive known bibliography of Star Wars related books, newspaper articles, comic books and magazines.
For this companion piece we spoke with Lita Sheldon, author and compiler of A Star Wars Bibliography, self-published in February of 1980 and revised for an April, 1987 edition.
Ms. Sheldon is News Manager for NorthWest Indian News, a cooperative media outlet for indigenous peoples of the Northwest. She was gracious and enthusiastic about sharing her collecting story.
Q: What was your first awareness of Star Wars?
A: My friend Jean dragged me downtown to see a new science fiction film. We stood outside this Cinerama Theater in Seattle and it started to rain. I said "Jean, we've been standing out here for an hour, this had better be some movie!" She took me to Star Wars to see the look on my face when that Imperial ship comes on. Man, I was hooked after that!"
