Just looking to see what everyone has. Maybe we can all learn of some new ones to add to the collection!
I don’t have a whole lot.
-
The Star Trek Reader I and II by James Bish. They’re novelizations of TOS episodes.
-
The Next Generation Tech Manual. Ended up buying this off of Amazon (used) years ago for a stupid price and well worth it.
-
Star Trek Shipyards: Starfleet Ships 2151-2293, Starfleet Ships 2294-The Future (Pre-Discovery S3), and Borg and the Delta Quadrant. They’re each a compendium of various ships and classes. There’s a Klingon one and a Romulan one too if I remember correctly. Come with gorgeous high quality images, blueprints, cut aways and tons of in universe/behind the scenes information. Actually published by Eaglemoss through Penguin House.
I have so many. Would you like some? 😀 Most of them I’ll never read again and I’d love to see them go to a good appreciative home. I’ve collected them since I was a child, since Star Trek books started coming out. I may have some of the late 60’s books but I definitely have a bunch from the 70’s. I don’t have all the collections, just random ones I was interested in getting. I stopped buying when I went to college. Then when DS9 came out, I started reading them again after the series finished. I need to see if there are more of the story continuation I don’t have. I would love to read those.
One I think about from time to time wasn’t a novel. It was memoirs about the conventions. I wanted to go to one desperately but I was just a kid. I never told my folks - they’d never take me to something like that. I always dreamed of one coming to my hometown. Then I went to school, and career, got married and had kids. My daughter liked Voyager. We lived in a major city locale and I took her to some conventions.
Then the unbelievable happened. A ST convention came to my hick hometown. My childhood dream come true - even though I no longer lived there. We went home, and met James Doohan, Michelle Nichols, and George Takei, and another actress (the one on the episode where they age rapidly, and she died). I never knew until I got older, she was on several Westerns and I wish I could have talked with her about those! She’s passed now.
Anyway that’s the only convention I ever think about, even though we attended a good many. That one in my boonies hometown was very special.
