TRADITION!!!!
The Holy Texts: THE MAKING OF STAR TREK, The Franz Joseph Blueprints and STAR FLEET TECHNICAL MANUAL, and THE STAR TREK ENCYCLOPEDIA.
And, of course, THE Book: CHICAGO MOBS OF THE TWENTIES.
But which cover design? Sigma Iotia II (2268 printing) or the one on Travis' bookshelf in his quaters?
The Sigma Iotia II edition, made to resemble a fancy family Bible.
The newly transformed Vulcans next week are probably acting "logical" because they subconsciously think they're supposed to be and acting accordingly. They then realize that Vulcans don't have built-in logic, it's trained, and in fact their emotions are even more out of control than as humans. La'an and Chapel get into a fight, Uhura tries to **** Beto, and Pike starts screaming about how he refuses to go back to being a human because as a Vulcan he can avert his accident (alerting everyone including Batel that he's been hiding this info).
Travis's book was just called "Chicago Gangs," not "Chicago Mobs of the 20's."
Liam Shaw visited Sigma Iotia II and didn't understand why he was treated like a god when he said he was from Chicago (to be fair he didn't read about Kirk's adventures much, holding them with the same disdain as he did with Picard's)
Budget, annotated version.
The sequel. Left behind on a different planet.Budget, annotated version.
Edited by Pendant Publishing in 1992. Elaine Benes oversaw it.
The "psionics" mentioned here may be connected to the psionic warfare ancient Vulcans waged against one another around the time of the Stone of Gol.
The humming in the convention center that starts around 3:30 sounds like a warp core pulsating. 
This week's ending--
Vulcan Pike: Ok, now to turn back into a human.
Spock: Before you do so, transfer your katra into this katric ark
Vulcan Pike: Why?
Spock: Just do it. As you will turn back into a human, you won't have a katra anymore regardless, so might as well place it into this ark.
(Pike does so and afterwards turns into a human along with the other Vulcanized Enterprise crew)
Years later...
Spock: Now that Captain Pike is on Talos IV, we can create a clone of him and transfer his katra from the ark into the new clone body, allowing an able-bodied Pike to continue serving in Starfleet.

Do that enough times and you could have a tourist attraction: "Katric Park".
Nah. The Ark is still at that Daystrom facility with Kirk’s body.
Interesting thought… Do all sapient species have katras, or only Vulcans? And if only Vulcans, what’s the difference between their “essence” and the equivalent that everybody else has?
And do Romulans have them still?
Also, Spock was mentally fine (as well as can be given his irradiated condition) for the 5 or so minutes after he transferred his katra to McCoy, meaning the katra transfer basically copies his memories instead of cutting and pasting them onto McCoy (otherwise he would be like "Who are you guys? What am I doing in this chamber? How do I even know how to speak?")
Zhaban: Jean-Luc, help me, I'm dying after trying to stop those Section 31 thugs from stealing your original body and they beat me up. Get Laris here so I can transfer my katra to her and she can take it to the Romulan Free State which has a flash cloning lab so I can be resurrected. (I'm not sure katric transfers work on synth bodies like yours)
Picard: Sorry punk, I'll be bedding Laris now. You were always useless, you couldn't even stop that journalist from asking nosy questions. I'll just wait here and watch you die.
(Zhaban dies)
Laris (comes in): OH NO!!! What happened??
Picard: He fell.
MORE BONUS SCENES FROM THIS WEEK'S EPISODE--
Spock: Ensign Uhura, please transfer your katra to this ark as well before returning to human form.
Vulcan Uhura: Why?
Spock: In the possibility you are mindwiped by an evil evolved Earth space probe, the katric ark can be used to restore your memories.
Vulcan Uhura: That's a suspiciously specific event to try to be prepared for, but ok.
