A heads up for Trekkers that Abrams this September is releasing Star Trek The Original Show 365 Days. It will be an identical format to the Star Wars 365 and other titles in the series.
The SW book had great pix. This one has 365 pix (obviously).
Same publisher is also releaseing Star Wars Visions in November. Art inspired by SW. 120 illus. Looks cool.
So is this ST book only about the new movie or also about the classic series?
PD,
Seeing as you get all the cool books
I hope you get to review a copy of "The Sounds of Star Wars".
DM:
Rinzler mentioned it to me in a email this morning. He said there is a bunch of new SW books coming this fall.
Today I received this book and it's an interesting little book indeed. Strange size (about 6" high and 9" long but 2" thick) but a cool book. It's very heavy (seems like the weight of a phone book)!! Basically it devotes 2 or 3 pages to each episode sometimes with a summery of the episode; other times with some behind the scenes information. It also has the appropriate corresponding photos (which look grand). Mostly screen caps but there are many behind the scenes photos and some photos I have not seen before. Has some interesting tidbits like the doomsday machine was actually made by dipping a wind sock into concrete. The only bummer is that there are full page photos of the phaser 2, communicator and tricorder . . . . wait for it . . . . . yes, they are all fakes! Anyway well worth picking up.
Just picked this up from Barnes And Noble. Very good book
I am so getting that. And I may just go get it tomorrow lol.
Man from Naboo,
STAR TREK 365 is (thankfully) only about STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES, and has nothing what so ever to do with JJ's STAR TREK: THE NEW UNIVERSE.
The book is wonderful and I love my copy.

I did notice there was a page or two on the Motion Picture.

Any pics that the insanely knowledgable Trek fan hasn't seen?
Is it a book full of screen grabs?
Screen grabs and some interesting behind the scenes info. If your insanely knowledgable about classic Trek, then you likely know all this information and have scene the pics. While I would not consider myself an expert on all things Trek, I am not a novice eigther.
I am happy that I picked it up, still fun to revisit this series that started it all, and that my father got me interested in so very long ago
I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm leaning towards getting it. Yes the vast majority of pics are screengrabs. High resolution frames from the remastered episodes though, so they hold up in print. In flipping through it I did notice one or two behind the scenes pics I don't recall seeing before, but they were not earth-shattering revelations. I have not even glanced at the text.
Still, I am a sucker for the big dense photo-book presentation, and it would be nice to have it on my shelf just for flipping through and looking at.
The book I'm really looking forward to is this Haynes guide to the Starship Enterprise. Due september it says here.

They certainly know how to milk that cow, don't they? What's coming in the fall, then? 'The Hairstyles of Star Wars'?
Looks like it will have plenty of text along with it, and behind the scenes photos. Would you prefer the Star Wars equivalent that is nothing but screen grabs with nothing else? I'm sure the price on that is more reasonable.micdavis said:
