Like Star Trek? Then you’ll love the U.S.S. Enterprise Owners’ Workshop Manual. I received a copy in the mail yesterday, and have already spent hours thumbing through its pages.
Styled like the classic Haynes line of automotive manuals, this full-color hardcover contains exhaustive details on every iteration of the U.S.S. Enterprise, from NX-01 to NCC-1701-E. Full of on-set photos, cutaway illustrations, annotated diagrams and technical articles that cover both the erudite (how does a transporter work, exactly?) and banal (where does the crew go to unwind?), this book stands as an ode to Star Trek’s enduring power and compelling mythology.
With Christmas just a couple of months away, you may want to consider buying two copies of this book: one for yourself, and the other to put away for the Trekker in your life. This would make a perfect holiday gift. Look for it on November 2, 2010.
