Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Two glossy photo sections in 32 pp. each, albet all in B&W (illustrator). 1st Edition. 12mo trade paperback essentially unread & as-new, but downgraded due to some disturbances to corners and edges from handling or from being placed in a bookseller's rack. States "First Titan Edition September 1991"; number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing, thus. (British edition "by arrangement with Ballantine Books. Interior text copyright 1968." Why it took 23 years for this text to reach British fans we do not know. "Star Trek" had reached Britain by the 1970s, though right up through the 1980s the BBC banned broadcasts of the episodes "Miri," "Plato's Stepchildren," "The Empath," and "Whom Gods Destroy," the pantywaists there explaining those episodes' subject matter was unacceptable "because they all (deal) most unpleasantly with the already unpleasant subjects of madness, torture, sadism and disease." This from the nation that brought us "The Blood on Satan's Claw" (1970) and Ken Russell's "The Devils" (1971), not to mention the magnificent Ingrid Pitt slurping blood in Hammer's "Vampire Lovers" -- also 1970? So we're to presume the BBC declines to report on the cheerful Muslim "guest workers" now regularly chopping up unarmed British civilians with machetes in the streets of London? Or is that not considered excessively "unpleasant"? The twin 32-pg. B&W glossy photo sections feature the stunning Sherry Jackson from Episode 7, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", but not, obviously, Kathryn Hays as Gem the empath (and no Susan Oliver, either, though there are lots of loving photos of futuristic-looking chairs, as well as of Dr. McCoy's Art Deco salt shakers, er, we mean . . . medical instruments.) 363 pp. including (partial?) episode guide, followed by 5 pp. publisher's ads. Now reduced from $90.

The Making of Star Trek is a behind-the-scenes description of the creation of Star Trek: The Original Series, the first Star Trek series. A multi point of view reference book, in which input from a wide range of production contributors, from studio executives to costumers, was processed, it was the first of its kind. Liberally illustrated with two extensive black and white photo sections, this book also contains as illustrative backdrops, memos, technical information, and production concepts from the original pilot through the first two seasons of The Original Series. Published in 1968, while the Original Series was still in production, the book holds the distinction of being the very first officially licensed reference book of its kind on the subject of Star Trek, as well as adding a third element to the infant Star Trek print franchise after the first official novel and comic publications the previous year. This book is literally a blueprint of how a television show is conceived, written, sold and produced. 64 pages of photographs from the show. Ballantine #73004. Highly recommended. A very handsome vintage copy. ISBN-0345216210. LOC SSS-41.
