New rare photos book....

[Warped9]

A new TOS book featuring 300 rarely seen photos from TOS Season 1: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/06... Go&qid=1458140688&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1

The big draw of a book like this is to see rare images from TOS. I'm interested.

Gurian and Cushman? No thanks.

You have to ignore the text and just look at the pictures.

I can wait for them to make their inevitable appearance on the interwebs.

Since this is focused on Season 1 we can assume that volumes focusing on Season 2 and 3 will follow.

Gurian acquired the rights to these photographs before publishing them in a book for profit, right?

RIGHT?

You mean other than the ones he got from "birdofthegalaxy"?

I've been websurfing and have found some rare or photos I've never seen from TOS I'd like to see what photos this book has (I'm sure they'll be circulating online as well)

 

[Warped9]

Over the years a lot of rare pics have shown up online. The attraction for me would be to seen pics I'm not overly familiar with and see them reprinted large and clearly.

So rare to Joe Public and rare to fanatics like us are not the same thing.

I'll wait to hear some reviews here before deciding. Every time someone advertises "rare" or "previously unseen" pictures from Star Trek, I find that most (if not all) are pictures I've seen before.

 

[Ronald Held]

These pictures were licensed or somehow in the public domain?

 

[Bah Humbug]

That's great.. you can buy a new book for $40.00 or the used version for $139.25.

 

[Maurice]

Given the source, pretty sure it's unauthorized.

^And full of errors.

Joe Public will never even know this book exists.

If you read Gurian's website, you'll see that some black and white photos have been (rather poorly) colorized. It's enough to make you queasy.

 

[Indysolo]

Okay. Fine, I'll ask. Why isn't this book being self-published by "Jacobs/Brown Press"?

Wonder if it's got the snap of Uhura on that bike?

Dammit, were it not for its pedigree I'd have ordered this already. I don't doubt Gurian's collector cred (and I'm aware of the controversy over his photos used in TATV), but the association with Cushman / Markman / Brown is a non-starter for me.

I wouldn't trust the pictures either.

I happen to know the SF writer Robert Sawyer ordered a copy. I'll wait to see what he has to say about it.
