I'm delighted to share with you my first non-customer review. Wired.com's great GeekDad blog has dubbed A Long Time Ago "geekdad approved" in a review by Dave Banks. From the review:

Reading through the pages, I found myself smiling and nodding my head along with Van Ert’s memories, which were incredibly similar to mine even though I experienced them half a continent away. However, that’s not to say he doesn’t have some personal observations in this thoughtful narrative...

At the end of it all, they are just movies. But for people like you and me, they meant a lot more; each film was a meaningful mile marker on our childhoods. A Long Time Ago captures those memories and transports you back to the living room floor, when the shag carpet was the Dagobah swamp and the gap between the couch cushions was the Death Star trash compactor. These are times worth revisiting and this memoir helps to bridge the gap. If you’d like to revisit a galaxy far, far away, give A Long Time Ago a look. As Van Ert’s daughter says, “It’s a good story, uh?”
