I’d love an Enterprise companion, so long as it’s done like the DS9 one. Personally the Chronology is my favourite book and I’d buy a revision in a heartbeat.

Sorry, but it sounds like more of the same old junk to me.
Written by people who aren’t experts, just cobbled together by the paper mill for a fast buck.
No wonder the stuff doesn’t sell anymore.
I want replicas and I think most people do.
Not replicas that cost a month’s salary, either.

One more thing. I see that these are the same people who wrote the same book I mentioned before. I loved how the mentioned that some of the episodes were less then perfect. You would expect to say somthing like this in an unofficial book. I hope they include an index in this upcoming book.

I’m still waiting for a Star Trek edition of Scene It. Boggles my mind how that didn’t get made, considering how much material they have to work with. Also interesting that Star Trek never became Pez dispensers when practially everyone else is. Pez is why there is Ebay, for Pete’s sake.

Everything trek, huh? That is a lot of ground to cover. At least they have time until next fall. But what do I know? The only trek things I have are all 7 DS9 DVDs and the companion book that goe along with that series.

To be brutal about it, for anyone becoming a Star Trek fan through the new film, nothing outside of TOS Star Trek is relevant!

Alright, I have really only read a few of the comments. but come on. Yes there is several books with several editions each covering the series and movie, episode by episode. But for a new trekkie, or for some one who hasn’t got any of them yet, this might just be a good product to buy. I will wait and reserve my ultimate desicion until I see it in book stores

As for the Star Trek Compendium: I bought an edition of Allan Asherman’s book when I was about 10 and, as a guide to the episodes and films, including stuff I’d seen and hadn’t seen yet, it was invaluable. By today’s standards, it suffers from iffy black and white photos and it only goes up to STIII, but I really like it. I’d love to see that book updated.

I’d much rather ‘Trek 101′ came out in volumes specific to the version of Trek they’re covering: ie the Star Trek volume covering TOS, TAS, the six films with appendices covering other appearances such as Generations, Unification, Sarek, Encounter at Farpoint and Relics; TNG covering the seven seasons, the four films and cameos in other Treks such as Worf in STVI, Tom Riker in DS9 and so on.
