Review #1
"Tataouine Tours: On Location is an
excellent and useful help for finding all the correct SW locations.
Having already been to Tunisia a couple of times I especially
appreciated the rich background information you are giving on the
country, environment, towns and settings which are directly
connected with the different SW locations."

Review #2
"For the better part of the last decade I
often wished that someone would take the time to share their
expertise and write a guidebook about the various Tunisia sites used
during the filming of the Star Wars Trilogy. I was thrilled to find
Jeremy Beckett's well-written and well-researched Tataouine
Tours: On Location Guidebook to Tunisia.
I have long wanted to visit Tunisia to see the
places that hold such a dear place in my heart. The most difficult
obstacle to overcome was the sense that I could not possibly explore
the country with no knowledge of the land and people. This book has
changed my outlook on the feasibility of traveling to Tataouine - it
IS possible!"

Review #3
"This book will not entertain children or
just any fan for that matter. Tataouine Tours: On Location
explains in detail the culture, history, and amenities Tunisia
offers as well as highlighting the background of the specific
locations chosen for Star Wars.
I recommend it to those interested in geography,
geology, and meteorology as Mr. Beckett did his fair share of
scientific research about the land that stands between the
Mediterranean and the Sahara. From desert ecosystems to geological
history; everything about Tunisia's landscape is covered."

"Tataouine Tours: On Location is an
astonishingly detailed guide to the areas of Tunisia that George
Lucas and company chose as a backdrop for the desert/Tatooine scenes
in both ANH and TPM. Everything from local flora and fauna to
customs and history are explored within. Exacting details on every
filming location has been carefully recorded - allowing visitors to
explore even the most remote locations that enjoyed only a
split-second of screen time, or didn't make it to the big screen at
all - Toshi Station, Mos Eisley, Ben's hovel, Beru's kitchen - it's
all waiting for you.
The guidebook is a spiral bound affair with a
soft laminated cover - designed for use in the field, and contains
page after page of simple easy to read maps. While I can't imagine
undertaking such an epic trek without this terrific aid, the book is
not just for those seeking a vacation under twin suns - it is a
fairly compelling read on its own. With the imagery described within
burned into my mind via repeated viewings of our beloved trilogy,
being able to read a detailed account of the journey gave me the
distinct sense that I had been there myself. It also manages to instill
within its reader an overpowering urge to actually consider
partaking in such a desert odyssey."
