Star Trek: The Original Series 365 Review
I rarely gush over any book. I often think, 'I could have done this better myself'! But not this time! The author reveals her knowledge of and love for Star Trek throughout her very interesting text. I consider myself a super-fan, but she revealed some tidbits in this book that I'd never seen before. The photos and other illustrations are uniformly excellent.
Her book covers all of the pilots and episodes as well as all of the regular characters and the actors who portrayed them. The book also delves into some of the props (though not all) and covers many of the behind-the-scenes people who put the show together. My only (small) complaint is that a section wasn't expressly devoted to showing all of the Enterprise sets. But, really, most (if not all) are shown in the episode photographs.
All in all, a must-have book for a fan of TOS!
Star Trek: The Original Series 365 Overview
Star Trek The Original Series 365 is the definitive, authorized guide to Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry’s groundbreaking television program that first aired from 1966 through 1969 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon. A visual celebration of the original voyages of the Starship Enterprise, the book covers the entire series in unprecedented detail, combining in-depth commentary, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, and crew, with synopses for each of the series’ 79 episodes.
In addition to a wealth of never-before-seen images and newly commissioned photography, Star Trek presents a treasure trove of remastered stills from the CBS archives—bringing to vivid life the famous five-year mission of Captain Kirk, Mister Spock, Doctor McCoy, and countless other beloved characters for old and new fans alike.

Outstanding book - Gary H -
The best book about Star Trek TOS since the Justman/Solow book. Really well done, with great photos (many I have never seen before). The text on each episode captures many anecdotes that I had not heard before either. And I love that the authors included some early aspects of fandom -- including the first few New York conventions. If you are a fan of the original series -- this is a "must have" book. I hope they do another one for the first six movies featuring the original cast.
