ABC news story on my collection & new collectibles book

[startrekfiero]

The ABC news series Chronicles recently did a story about my collection and getting a book deal to author a full color Star Trek collectibles book to be published by Krause Publications to be released in time for the premier of the new movie.
They just sent me a copy on DVD and it is now uploaded on youtube:

For those who didn't get a chance to see it when it originally aired, enjoy

Your collection is veeeeery impressive! You certainly shouldn't leave me alone in this room ...

But ... Doctor Spock?!

 

[startrekfiero]

Yeah, Dr. Spock... >sigh<
I think the station has received a few thousand phone calls already just on that alone LOL

 

[Dane_Whitman]

Wow man you could open a Star Trek collectibles museum!

 

[startrekfiero]

Actually, the entire collection is now for sale if you or someone else would like to buy it all and do that

 

[JD]

Nice collection. Are you going to add the STXI merchandise when it starts coming out?

 

[startrekfiero]

Maybe for a second or third printing but for now my part of working on the book, taking pics of certain items from my collection and creating the text, write ups and price guide parts is now done. Unless the publisher contacts me asking for anything it's in the hands of my editor and the layout people now getting it all pretty and ready for being printed in time to be shipped to book stores and such before the premier of the new movie

 

[JD]

No I mean will you be adding any Trek XI stuff to you're collection.

 

[startrekfiero]

Oh, yes of course

 

[Steve Roby]

So will the publication be pushed back now that the movie's release date has been pushed back to next year?

You might also want to post about your book in the part of TrekBBS that's about books; I almost missed this, because I don't always check the General Trek Discussions forum.

I haven't heard of any change in the publishers printing date of the book. I would doubt they would change it now since the studio could always change the movie release date again. Better to be published even months before the movie than to miss it late by months if Paramount happens to change the release date again and the publisher isn't able to adjust the printing schedule in time.

Wow very cool, Steve! I love stuff like that, and I love hearing childhood Star Trek stories!

Great Collection, it's nice to see that I'm not the only fan that has lots of Star Trek stuff from all the series, movies, etc. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You're about the second or third person with a collection bigger than mine, damnit!

Oh well. I can live with top 10!
