Trekyards or Designing Enterprises

Cannot get Eave's book on Amazon until next year. Which do people recommend? The Designing books or the two Trekyard books? Want to get one before Christmas.
 
Aren't both the shipyards books and designing enterprises just reprints of the eaglemoss collection magazines? If you already have those I wouldn't bother with either, if not I'd go with the shipx#yards because they should include the enterprises plus additional ships.

So Designing Starships seems to be more focused on the concept work and design and the production side of starships, where Shipyards is more of a starship catalogue. I guess it would depend on what you like.

I love me some concept art, so Designing looks pretty good. Buuuuuuuut... those nicely rendered space images in Shipyards are also quite purdy.

And these do appear to be bound versions of the Eaglemoss magazines but separating the information into two different themed book series. Clever...
 
I'm not sure about Designing Starships since I haven't seen any of it except the video above, but I flipped through the previews for the Shipyards books on Amazon a few days ago, and they are all done from an in universe perspective.
