New Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr
New arrivals for this week: the second "Star Trek: Defiant" hardcover omnibus from IDW; "Star Trek: Picard: Firewall" hardcover novel by David Mack (Gallery, 2024), which has been coming to Australia on a very slow boat!; and IDW's "Star Trek" #21 comic with the alternate "stained glass" cover art.
Lower row: "Star Trek Cookbook", which turned out to be a slick, anonymous fan production (in the style of the recent Gallery hardcover) with some hilarious typos and layout, illustrated with pics of the official alcohol bottles and stills from the Kelvinverse movies (gotta restrain myself from my curiosity with these!); and a hardcover omnibus of Brazilian "Star Tranko" comics (Panini, 2020). Walt Disney characters are used under licence in a parody of "Star Trek", featuring Captain Mickey Tiberius Kirt Neto.
I've had the sticker book for decades, but I could never bring myself to spoil it by using any of the stickers. I should've bought one to use and one to preserve.
I bought one at full price, then found some to use at remaindered prices! The pages often became loose due to too many casual browsers.
There is still a UFP emblem on the front door of my first home unit (since 1984).

No, just a Moopsy & a GlommerDo you also have a warp 10 Paris hugging his babies on your couch?
Just got this eBay find in the mail today! 2 drawings from the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "The Survivor". Without the coloring you can see the 'underside' of the core of the body. It's almost like a ball or yard or maybe striated muscle.
The Vendorian is perhaps TAS's best alien design -- one of the few Trek aliens, indeed one of the few SFTV aliens anywhere, that really looks like something that arose from an entirely separate evolutionary process rather than being a variation of some Earthly form. I didn't think the Lower Decks version did it justice. (They left out the "hipbone" skirt above the tentacles and the core body between them, and altered the face to give it more humanoid proportions.)
"Star Trek: The Illustrated Oral History" by Ian McLean, on Flickr
Just secured my copy of the hardcover of "Star Trek: The Illustrated Oral History: The Original Cast" (Titan, 2024). Volume 1 reprints snippets from interviews from the official "Star Trek Magazine". TOS, TAS and the first six movies.
Contents of "Star Trek: The Illustrated Oral History" by Ian McLean, on FlickrI also just bought the audiobook version of "The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy" by Adam Nimoy (Dreamscape Media, 2024), 558 min., read by Adam Nimoy:

Andorian blue wine by Ian McLean, on Flickr
And this very cool souvenir bottle from San Diego Comic Convention 2024, featuring Ambassador Shras from "Star Trek", is apparently on its way to becoming my latest acquisition. I think the donor has already consumed the contents, which will greatly improve its passage through Australian Customs.
It's SO good! At least I really liked it.Lost to Eternity arrived today - my book collection keeps on growing....
