4.0 out of 5 stars Made this Trekker Happy..., January 27, 2009

By	Eric Syler (Poughkeepsie, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been looking for an updated collectibles guide for some time now when I stumbled upon this one and I'm VERY happy with it. It only covers the Original series of the show but Steve's book covers the first items produced back in the 60's all the way up to when this book was published. Filled with pictures of every type of item ever produced, collectors like myself appreciate both a written and visual look at these treasures. That along with the general two tier estimating pricing guide (Mint-in-box and Mint-out-of-box) made me feel like this was a great purchase that I'll go back to again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book That I've Ever Seen On Star Trek Collectibles!, October 25, 2008

By	Marc D. Banks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been collecting Star Trek items since I was a child and this is by far the best book on the subject of Star Trek collectibles. The book is organized very well and has some of the best photographs of hard to find Star Trek items that I have even seen. All I can say is EXCELLENT! Loved the book. I wish a book like this was around years ago. After reading, I am inclined to improve my collection by searching for items that I never knew existed. Great job!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Trek Collectibles Book - a must for any Star Trek fan!, June 21, 2009

By	Susan C. Whitenack - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is not only informative, but entertaining. The history of Star Trek merchandising is here in this book. NOTE: This book has collectibles from the original Star Trek and the movies with the original cast; it has only a few from the other Start Trek series (TNG, DS9, etc.).
