I'f you've never read Trek magazine (or even heard of it),don't worry. You're not alone. Until i read this book, i thought the only Star Trek mag was Communicator. Ignoring that, I picked up the book and startred reading. It was full of opinions, facts and debate. It had lots of interesting topics, like who would be my most logical woman for Spock, How Star Trek movies are like literature, and why Classic Trek is better than the '90s trek shows (my favourite). The Best of Trek is Trek at it's Best.

If you've never read anything from "Trek - The Magazine for Star Trek fans" , don't worry, you're not the only one. I haven't. When i got this book, the only Star Trek Magazine was the official one, Communicator.So, ignoring the fact, I read it, originally thinking it was a fanfiction book. But it was actually a book about facts, opinin and debate. It had intresting situations, about characters from the series, Classic Trek vs 90's trek, Trekkie conventions and more.The book got me more interested in Star Trek itself, and would highly reccomended it for any Trekkie, casual viewer, or someone who is just slightly interested in.

This was a pretty good book if you like background information. I am more of a story kind of person. I did really enjoy the sections about Sulu's and Spock's histories, and the geneology of the Star Trek characters. I am an amateur chronologists, so these were really helpful to me in placing unknown events into their backgrounds. The book is a little out of date and not everything matches up up perfectly, but what can you expect when the articles were published around 1979?

If all you are looking for is stories and adventures, this book has none. It is strictly articles.

Collection of articles spanning conventions to the lives of the actors
