Star Trek Vault by Scott Tipton
A fully illustrated, interactive tribute to the world's most famous and popular science fiction series: Star Trek. To boldly go where no one has gone before, renowned Star Trek expert, Scott Tipton has delved deep into the CBS archives and their treasure trove of photographs, scripts, concept sketches, blueprints, storyboards and memorabilia, to explore how Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future became a modern myth. Covering all six Star Trek television series and the ten original feature films, the book examines the far-reaching social and scientific optimism that underpins the franchise, dwelling on milestones such as its ground-breaking mixed-race casts and technologies that have since become common-place, before taking an in-depth look at the making of each series and movie. Painstakingly researched and lavishly designed, and boasting a wealth of never-before-seen images and removable memorabilia - including captain's chair blueprints, rare leaf trading cards, wrap party invites and international movie posters - The Star Trek Vault is the ultimate celebration of a pop culture institution.
