Star Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr

I finally picked up "Spock's Logic Puzzle Box" (Carlton Books, 2017), which contains a rule book, question cards, answer pad and a "Gravity-powered Continuum Designator" (aka egg-timer in Earth vernacular). Also IDW's "Star Trek: Year Five" comic issue #5, and the first two issues of "Star Pig", which jumps onto the giant space tardigrade band wagon!

On the doorstep this afternoon:
Star Trek: The Official Guide to the Animated Series and Designing Starships: Discovery Season 1 (which has some really, really, good detail pics for the Discovery version of the Big E!)

ETA: Also arrived - the Alpha Quadrant sourcebook for the Star Trek Adventures RPG.

I got “The Antares Maelstrom” yesterday. It’s funny, but it looks like the cover belongs on a dust jacket rather than the cardboard trade paperback cover.

I've gotten a few of the Eaglemoss Hero Collector books, and have been frustrated by the large red stickers on the covers, like in your photo above. They don't peel off easily AT ALL, and leave a nasty sticky residue. I've left negative reviews on Amazon (amid many others complaining about the same thing), but I keep seeing the same stickers on new books. They could use a different glue for their stickers that allow them to be peeled off cleanly; many other publishers do. For a company centered around catering to collectors who want flawless examples of the company's wares, they seem oblivious about similar desires in book collectors...

The Voyager book, and some previous ones, have had the sticker on the outside of the shrink-wrap. I was able to peel it off and reapply it to the inside front flap of the dustjacket.

The Voyager book, and some previous ones, have had the sticker on the outside of the shrink-wrap. I was able to peel it off and reapply it to the inside front flap of the dustjacket.

Yes, I think the sticker was on the shrink-wrap of my copy of the Voyager book, too. but not being quite the completist you are, Therin, I didn't preserve the sticker with the book.

I realize the purpose of the stickers is to quickly inform someone glancing at a bookstore shelf a little of what is in the book to entice them to buy it. But once I get the book home (especially if I bought it online!), I don't want that sticker covering the gorgeous cover art!

I have bought all the Witcher novels, so I have enough to read the coming months

 

[Therin of Andor]

Just arrived at my door: Tie-in original novels, "The Judas War" (2016), and "Judgment" (2018), by Michael Koogler & Sky Conway, based on the “Renegades” fan films (starring Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols). The first of these fan films was set firmly in the "Star Trek" universe, but their next stories had all the numbers filed off, including the Andorian's antennae.

This week’s “Star Trek” haul: the latest issue of IDW’s “Star Trek: Year Five” comic (#7); the trade paperback omnibus of “The Q Conflict” storyline; and, from 1979, a near-mint copy of “Fandom Triumphs”, a long-coveted fanzine about the making of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”.
