Fan Phenomena: Star Trek by Bruce E Drushel

In this anthology, a panel of rising and established popular culture scholars examines the phenomenon of Star Trek fan culture and its most compelling dimensions. The resulting collection is both critical and respectful, capturing the practices and attitudes of a fan culture that is arguably the world's best-known and most misunderstood.

'Individually each of the chapters in this book is a fascinating insight into a particular aspect of Star Trek fan cultureTaken together, they form a poignant snapshot of Star Trek fandom as a whole.'

-- Dan Gunther, treklit.com

'As a fan I enjoyed most of the articles, although some of them are rather academic and may not have been meant to be entertaining in the first place. For me, reading this book with its overall respectful and sometimes affectionate external view of the fandom was a pleasant departure from the usual way I look at Star Trek and at myself as a fan.' 

-- Ex Astris Scientia
