The Unwanted Blog

I have two lots of Trek books. The first is a collection of old-school books, including “Spock must Die” (the first published Trek novel), “The World of Star Trek” and “The Making of Star Trek,” two good books on the making for the original series, from back when people didn’t really write many books about the making of TV shows; “Star Trek Logs One through Five” by Alan Dean Foster, which had the stories from the Animated Series turned into literature; and “Star Treks One through Twelve,” which included original series episodes written as long stories (from when that was just about the only way people could experience Trek unless they were lucky enough that the local UHF station broadcast scratchy re-runs). All are in decent enough shape. Twenty books for… let’s call it $60 (a mere $3 per book) plus postage to be determined at buyers request.

Also: a collection of “technical stuff.” Included are twelve Eaglemoss magazines, each covering one Star Trek spacecraft (“Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship,” “Nausicaan Fighter,” “Vulcan Surak class,” Andorian Battle cruiser,” “Romulan Drone,” “Xindi Aquatic cruiser,” “Goroth’s Klingon Transport Ship,” “Baxial,” “Xindi Reptilian Ship,” “Vahklas,” “Orion Scout Ship,” “Starfleet Academy Flight Training Craft”). Each magazine provides many illustrations of the ship, an in-universe description of the ship and its history, a description of how the ship was designed and, where relevant, the phyical model was made; how it was used in what episode of which Trek series. Also included in this lot is a set of “General Plans” for the “Joshua Class Starship.” This ship class was fan produced and is thus non-canonical (or is it?), but it well produced and a fine example of the sort of plans that used to be produced back in the day (and which I’d like to produce myself). The magazines seem to have an asking price of $12 on ebay, but I’m doing $6 each, with $10 for the Joshua class, for a total of $82… let’s call it $80 plus postage.

As always, if you want one or both of these lots, either comment below or end me an email.  First come, first served… unless someone asks for both lots within the next day or so.
