This book is a treat for a Trekker like me. I bought it as a reference book for my science-fiction series, The Frankenstein Series. The understanding of the amount of work put into the Star Trek franchise is mesmerizing and quite impressive.

I went through the book as I would an engineering manual. I studied speculative physics and astronomy. So, it wasn't a problem to understand how they divided the core of the ship from the rest of it. It is very informative and an impressive manual.

I recommend this book as a pure treat for Trekkers to add to their awesome collection. I also recommend it to anyone writing hard/military/epic science-fiction with actual mention of technical terms and speculative science.

Oh, I’m a kid again! I cherished my copies of Star Fleet Technical Manual and Alpha Moonbase Technical Notebook. Fans of sci-fi films and TV shows do seem to enjoy these pseudo-technical manuals. And this book, is a fan’s dream come true. It’s gorgeously illustrated with nice crisp descriptions and filled with wonderful photos. I’ll likely be cherishing this volume for years and years.

The book really focuses on the technical aspects of the ship. I would have preferred more detail about living and working on the ship. I recently toured a submarine used during the Cold War and those were the kinds of interesting information I learned. As another reviewer said, it goes into great detail about some things an not enough about others. For instance we don't really need 8 pages about hand phasers.

Definitely worth a read if you like all the engineering and tech, it just wasn't my main interest in the book.

Very informative. Too much so on some subjects, not enough on others. But then you can't please everyone when the book is this huge.

A fun read that is 209 pages long not 184, but who is counting.

Nice set of illustrations. There's a companion book that handles the ship from the original series.

Prachtige illustraties, enorm veel details, alle technobabble die een fan zich maar kan wensen. Erg leuk!
