4.0 out of 5 stars
It would have been better had the selector selected more of the literate letters,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Letters to Star Trek (Mass Market Paperback)
As someone who was there at the beginning of Star Trek and then saw it grow from a small to a mass movement, I am well aware of the role of fan letters in the expansion of interest. Some of that is clear from the letters highlighted in this book. Unfortunately while some of the letters are quite literate, many are not. They are crude and really do not demonstrate the power of the tsunami that turned Star Trek into a mainstream ideal. Some people wrote letters that were a blatant attempt to become famous and others were just trying to pitch a lame story idea. The best letters by far were from people who praise the role Star Trek had in motivating them to achieve more and figuratively reach for the stars. That is truly what Star Trek was all about and it is unfortunate that the selectors lost that focus when they were sifting through the documented mountain of mail generated by viewers of the show.

The good old days...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Letters to Star Trek (Mass Market Paperback)
Letters to Star Trek, written by Gene Roddenberry's assistant Susan Sackett, gives us a great look into those exciting, hope filled days before all the movies and new series'. Read letters from loyal fans and friends of Star Trek, along with the replies from Gene Roddenberry and from the stars of the show. Get the behind the scenes scoop from Sackett on the future of Star Trek (from a 1977 perspective) and the phenomenal response at the fan conventions. It also contains a number of behind the scenes and convention photos of the stars. This book is a wonderful piece of Star Trek history!
