New Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Last night's acquisitions: Three alternate covers for Issue #1 of IDW's new "Starfleet Academy" comic mini-series (set in the JJverse), and an autographed copy of a book I don't recall having in my extensive collection (which is currently in storage): "Beyond the Clouds" (Brown Books, 2008), about Matt Jefferies of Trek fandom, by his brother, Richard.

I finally got my copy of Star trek Seekers 4 At the last in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to read this book and the other new Star trek novels when I'm not so busy.

Ascendance by David R George III.

This week's "New releases" shelf at Galaxy in Sydney featured "DS9: Ascendance" by David R George III and "Luke Skywalker can't read and other geeky truths" by Ryan Britt (Penguin Random House, 2015). The latter has numerous humorous SF media-related essays, including "No Luke, Captain Kirk is your father" and is based on several essays the author wrote for Tor.com

New IDW issues by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Arrived Down Under last week: IDW comics. "Mister Chekov" in the "New Visions" photo story series, the regular cover of #52 of the JJverse stories (backordered; alternate cover was the Starfleet "Archies" cover), and two of the (three) alternate covers of "Starfleet Academy" #2.

Once again, several ST:TMP aliens feature in the "Starfleet Academy" comic, this time an Arcturian and a Betelgeusian (and, from TAS, an Edoan DJ!). Issue #1 featured several Arctuians, a Saurian and a Rhaandaite.

Found a copy of the Star Trek Peel-Off Graphics Book from around the time of TMP at Half-Price Books for eight bucks. And all the stickers are intact. Part of me wonders if the adhesive would still work if I were to apply them anywhere, but I don't think I'm gonna do that.

I still have a copy of that myself. I couldn't bring myself to take off any of the stickers.

I still have my original, plus several poorer-condition, remaindered copies found in the 80s. It's the binding that tends to fall apart because the pages are so heavy. I have used several stickers from one book. A Starfleet emblem is still on the front door of my old apartment from 1984 (now rented out to strangers), several are on a gum cards album - and an Enterprise insignia from the book is under the transparent case of my iPhone 6 (because ThinkGeek only had official Trek covers for iPhone 4 and 5).

So the adhesive still sticks well on shiny surfaces. I recently tried putting a "dangerous materials" graphic on some painted wood of a desk, and it stuck for a few weeks, then fell off. The surface was too matte.

In other news, I just picked up the Gaila reunion issue of the IDW comic. Lovely art and lots of new details on the Orion culture!

Mine arrived Down Under on Wednesday and I had to brave torrential rain to collect it on Thursday.

ST IV hardcover by Ian McLean, on Flickr

This book might explain why Star Trek fandom is so top heavy with males. A friend just found this in a US "Goodwill" for 50 cents. It's a hardback of the ST IV novelization from the "Just For Boys Weekly Reader Book Club".

 

[Avro Arrow]

on the "just for boys".

But on that description. "...triggering yet another adventure." You can almost hear the *sigh* at the end!
