It's like the joke I made when someone wondered how Spock could so successfully pose as "Cousin Selek" in Yesteryear. I imagine a conversation between child Spock and Sarek going something like this.
"Why have I never heard of Selek before?"
"You have many relatives you don't know about. I've actually lost count of how many siblings you have, which ones you've met, which you haven't, let alone keepiing track of all your cousins..."

I'm pretty sure in one of Jean Lorrah's books, Spock actually did have a cousin Selek who looked just like him.
I've read her TOS novels many times, and her TNG novels once each, and I don't remember any mention of a "Selek." Of course, she also wrote fanfic, and for all I know, she might have scripted comics as well.
If so, that reference is coming directly from the TAS episode "Yesteryear." That was the alias Spock used when he saw his parents and himself after going back in time via the Guardian.
Pages from the on-set prop of Spock: The Many and the One.
In the replies, Terry Mathalas implies there's an entire book. But it's not Una's Autobiography of Spock. What's going on?

As someone else points out on the replies, it seems to just be the Memory Alpha article, but written in the first person. Also, Una McCormack replied that she referenced the MA copy in her Spock biography.
Ahhhh that makes sense now. But it's the tweet implying there's an entire book which threw me
There was also Cousin Stephen, the young, blond Vulcan who loved to smile - and ran away to join an intergalactic circus (in the novel, "Enterprise: The First Adventure"). Predating Sybok.
And Teska, a niece of Spock, although not specified that her father was Sybok (the novel, "Mind Meld").

I was wondering if Spock was compensated in some way for his writingWould they still be using copyrights by then?
Having seen the open book and that they wrote pages for it, my imagination is just gonna go nuts for every single prop book in Trek from now on
The release date of the paperback edition has been moved to...August 2023! That's quite a delay. Is there any chance the paperback will be revised to incorporate aspects of Strange New Worlds?
I would doubt it.
But it would also be fun to get an edition retitled and updated to match the tome in Star Trek: Picard.
No. It's more likely a result of the well document supply chain issues that are plaguing the publishing industry as a whole at the moment.
There was a 24th century Romulan Selek, too. (TNG novel: "Crossover" by Michael Jan Friedman.)
Was he the son of the BOT Romulan Commander?
