Since its initial publication twenty-five years ago, The Star Trek Encyclopedia has been the go-to source for everything related to the franchise’s canon. Packed with highly detailed information, including brief episode and film synopses, no other book has come close to offering the same wealth of insight into the Star Trek universe.
Now, The Star Trek Encyclopedia has been thoroughly revised and redesigned for a new generation of fans. This updated and expanded edition includes 300 more pages, information, photographs and illustrations, and offers exhaustively researched and detailed entries on the characters, ships, and events from the last fifteen years of Star Trek television shows and films, including Star Trek: Voyager seasons 4-7, Star Trek: Enterprise seasons 1-4, and Star Trek Nemesis.
It also features material detailing the recent big-screen films Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek: Into Darkness. Packaged in a stunning deluxe slipcase, this two-volume set is a must-have for every Star Trek fan’s library.

Re: First Look at New STAR TREK ENCYCLOPEDIA
I wonder what the price is without pre-order?

How is it, Striker? I ordered mine this week via Amazon, and it should be here tomorrow.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Out of curiosity... How did the gift-giver acquire that? Is it commercially available or custom?Graham Kennedy wrote:Well now I know what to ask for for christmas!

Nothing from Beyond, which due to the publication date, is totally expected and forgivable. Nothing from the Animated Series, though... which I disagree with. They wanted to honor Gene's wishes to omit it from the canon. Except he's dead, and from what I've heard about how he handled legal stuff back then... not a fan.
But other than that, it's big, glossy, well-organized. Stuff from the Kelvin timeline has a dot besides the name, so it's easy to keep track of. Lots of pictures and charts. Overall, money well spent for me.

Re: First Look at New STAR TREK ENCYCLOPEDIA
Four months later, I finally decided to crack this open this weekend. It was enjoyable and I love the feel of paper, and yet with Memory Alpha/Beta, DITL, ex-Astris, etc., it almost seems unnecessary. 20 years ago, that would have been the greatest book ever made by anyone about anything at any time ever. Today, it seems a quaint bit of nostalgia and a great tribute to 50 years, but has nowhere near the functionality the original Encyclopedia had compared to any other reference.
Of course, I suppose the same argument could be made for any book in modern times, and I'll still be one to love libraries and bookstores... but that's a discussion for another day.
