Star Wars - George Lucas (Alan Dean Foster) Ballantine, 1976 (true 1st edition)

First edition, first printing mass market paperback edition of Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker by Alan Dean Foster but credited here to George Lucas (Ballantine Books, 1976). The true first edition of this science fiction novel, and the first Star Wars book ever published, a few months prior to the film’s release. It’s technically a novelization, but the film was delayed and this book was published prior to the film’s release. All other editions of this novel were published after the film. A rare and collectible piece of Star Wars memorabilia.
