Star Trek: The Visual Dictionary...Finally?

^I am thinking kids book as it has only 96 pages. Also if you click on the Corporat Author, it is a list of children's books they have produced.
 
Yeah...but this looks like it obviously a very early listing. I'll be eager to see actual information on this when we get close to March. Even if it is a "children's book" the Visual Guides/Dictionaries that DK producers that are that many pages are pretty decent. So either way I'm most intrigued about this.

So what? Let's be honest, most of the DK Star Wars Visual books and Cross-Section books are technically children's books too. A lot of us adults still think they're cool as hell.

I doubt anyone familiar with DK or their normal product lines is expecting a full-blown technical manual or anything along those lines.

I'm hopeful.

Boldly go where no Trekkie has gone before.

Star Trek the Visual Dictionary is the final frontier. Charting each and every one of the the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its mission: to explore everything Star Trek, strange new worlds (and old ones), to seek out every character, ship and series, to boldly go where no book has gone before.

Covering all of the six television series, with full coverage of favourite characters such as Spock, Bones, Scotty and Uhura, and full-colour pictures of ships that would make James T. Kirk proud, this is the ultimate guide to Star Trek for any Trekkie.

Don't be a Vulcan - live long and prosper with Star Trek the Visual Dictionary.

Seems to be based on prime-'verse Trek only.
 
Until there is one, I recommend you get the upcoming Haynes book on the B'Rel-class Bird-of-Prey. It'll tide you over very nicely!
 
I've only flipped through a few of DK's comic book and SW books, but they all look pretty cool. This definitely has a lot of potential.
 
I hope this is the first one in a series. If it is only covering "Star Trek" then that would explain the 96 pages. I'm actually really excited about this. Thanks for posting the blurb King Daniel.
 
I've already ordered my copy.

I actually have an entire shelf of DK books. They may be "kid's books," but they're useful when you need quick visual reference of ancient Egypt or locomotives or weather balloons or whatever . . ..
 
This is awesome! I been hoping for this for years.

Kids Books? Damn straight! That is a good thing. I remember first looking at their books in the library in grade school. I have a huge book shelf of their stuff too. I even bought DK books on subjects I really had no prior interest in. But was impressed with the designs.
 
Despite it being a kids book, the Star Wars versions had some technical background to the Acclamators and other starships seen in the universe. So, hopefully, we will get some finally needed registry holes plugged if they are doing a layout of a starship class like the Excelsior with a registry for the Farragut.
