This is fantastic news. I do hope it contains images we haven't seen before plus a look at the visual development of Phase II. There must be a ton of set photos as the decisions were made how to modify the sets to those used for TMP that I'd love to see. Frankly, there's so much information available now regarding the making of TMP that this book seems a bit anti-climactic but I'll buy my copy as soon as its available. Honestly, I think this really wonderful and have been hoping for a book like this for 40 years!

Seems like a good companion volume for Return to Tomorrow.

My favorite Trek film has always been the epic TMP. I will get this book.

I'm definitely getting this book! Doesn't seem to be available on Amazon to preorder yet, though.

Yeah, I sometimes wish the preorder links go live when the news story appears because half the time I’ll forget to ever order when it does appear.
