5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive is right, July 6, 2000

By	Bobby Hollingsworth (Abbeville, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book (v. 1) (Paperback)

This is a great trivia book for Star Trek. It has trivia on all kinds of subjects, such as Vulcans, Borg, episode names, and every major crew member. I thought I knew a lot about Star Trek, but after I started reading through this book I found out how much I didn't know. Here is an example: "In 'Tapestry,' Picard relived a time in his youth with two of his best friends from the academy. Name the friends." Another question is: "What substance was Elaan's necklace composed of?" Whoever knows these and the other questions in the book is a professional Star Trek fan. If you want to have fun with your Star Trek knowledge by all means buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Trivia Book., December 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book (v. 1) (Paperback)

I bought this book at my local Waldenbooks store a while back. On the way home, I was flipping through it and found all the good stuff. Overall, the book is a must-have for any Star Trek fan out there. The only problem I found with the book was that there were a few errors. I only found two and they are relatively minor. For instance, on page 165, for the Match the Ship with its Registry Section, Voyager's Registry is actually NCC-74656 not NCC-1647. Also on the same page, the USS Enterprise E is a Soverign class not Excelsior. Again, these are fairly minor problems. Nothing to get too bent out of shape about, but they are something to watch for.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book Volume II, June 6, 2002

By	Joe Zika "Khemprof" (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book Volume II by Jill Sherwin is a real jewel. The book is divided into 10 chapters and has information on TOS, ST:TNG, DS-9, Voyager, The Films, New Life and New Civilizations, Starfleet, Personnel Files, Abstract Knowledge and of course Number Ten is the Answer section.

So, if you are into TREK, this is the book that will answer some or most of your questions about these areas within the TREK Universe. I found that reading and answering the questions further increased my knowledge about these TREK areas. And if you need to settle a dispute... you've got the answer book to help you.

As the Trek Universe expands, I look forward to more of these compendia to be published. The book is set up well and is extremely well thought out.

This is an excellent addition to your Trek library.
