May 4 is Star Wars Day, thanks to the delightful pun in the image above. According to StarWars.com, this pun was first used in 1979 and has led to the fan-created Star Wars Day. In honor of this highest of geek holidays, I present to you a set of books which are part of the Star Wars universe. Enjoy, and may the Force be with you.
