Franz Joseph (1914–1994)

I picked this up in 1976 from the book store on Pioneer Kaserne in the town of Hanau located in what was then known as West Germany. I paid the princely sum of $6.95 and SP4 Swisher, one of my fellow soldiers remarked that "they saw you comin'". Well, Mr. Swisher, these things are selling at anywhere from $20.00 to $800.00 today, depending upon condition. As I managed to get Nichelle Nichols to autograph my copy before she died, I'd say mine is valued a little more than that. You shoulda bought one too! In any case, it's a good acquisition for any Trekkie to have in his/her library, and no, mine is not for sale, nor can it be checked out. I will let close friends and some family members look at it and MAYBE handle it.

Inside it you will find, dimensions, engineering drawings, floor plans, schematic diagrams, documentation including Federation treaties, Star Fleet regulations, uniform details, color samples, etc. You want to construct a single stateroom in your Star Trek-themed house? Well, this will give you the floor plan. You could also make a pontoon boat into a shuttle craft using this book.… (mere)
