Explore the World of Star Trek with the Updated Visual Dictionary, 2nd Edition

Margaret Grunwell: This book is nice and it has a lot of details, but a with most things based on a television show and/or movies, it doesn't have many things. But that is okay, what they do have is pretty cool and maybe an addendum will be created to include those that didn't get in this time.

SciabolaFra: Il libro è molto curato sotto ogni aspetto, è facilmente comprensibile anche a chi non conosce l'inglese (come sempre è impossibile trovare queste pubblicazioni tradotte in italiano). La grafica è eccellente e sono trattati tutti gli aspetti principali delle varie serie di Star Trek (ovviamente as eccezione di Discovery che viene trasmessa ora). Consigliatissimo.

mommymarly: Got this for my nephew whose a huge Trekkie and had to order at the total last minute because I had an another seller take my money for another star trek item but never actually sent it out! This had never happened to me before so I found myself trying to find a gift for my nephew on the last day for free shipping and this is what I selected... turned out this was a MUCH better choice than the other gift I had got him anyway, the pictures are great and it is just super fun to look at, the whole family passed it around.

Lt. Zott: As usual, DK does a fabulous job and covers virtually every Star Trek show, movie, character and prop ever seen on screen (and in print!). So much packed into such a modestly sized book, yet nothing seems to have been overlooked. Awesome DK editors did a fantastic job. Every Trek fan should be pleased to have this compendium in their collection.

Christopher: This book is like a visual history of all the series' and their casts, technology, and featured aliens. Seeing a piece of technology on screen is nothing like getting to pore over every detail in a photo. And every object and character featured is generously labeled, pointing out all important features. Explanations are also given as to the 'why' of all the entries. The reader is offered a broad assortment of items that may have been missed on screen and their reason for being is explained in an entertaining and understandable manner. Each series is touched upon including the crews and the aliens encountered in each series. This is one of those must-have books that will give the reader a greater understanding of their favorite character or alien species. You'll get to view the shows and movies in a whole new light. A real "souvenir" of the Star Trek universe. I highly recommend it.

Lacanta: Eine wirklich gute Zusammenstellung der optischen Ausstattung der StarTrek Serien. Man sieht an wie viele Details liebevoll gedacht wurden. Es geht von sehr einfache Masken (Gorn, aber kultig) bis zu den Borg. Vielleicht etwas kurz und bei manche Beispiele hätte ich mir mehr Auswahl gewünscht. Aber in Angesichts des Preises ist das sehr gelungen. Es macht sehr viel Spaß, die einzelnen Requisiten aus den Staffeln wieder zu erkennen.

illgmkeanedu: This book is larger than the usual DK "Eyewitness Handbook" guides, which I have always loved for their uniquely effective layouts, well-chosen images, and concise "almost-everything-you-need-to-know" summaries of each aspect of the given subject. Far more than I anticipated receiving for such a fair price, I think this is not only the perfect book for Trekkers/Trekkies/Trek fans (laying out everything for you from Andorian--my personal favorite--to Xindi!), but also for allowing non-fans to peruse to obtain a fun, reasonably easy-to-understand overview of the entire universe. (And not to *mention*, showing them what they're missing!!)

I love that this dictionary covers everything; it unites the five series in order, introducing each captain, crew, ship or space station, alien race/species, weapon, planet/location, language, event, concept, and other significant detail. As always, large, full-color photographs are given little "pointers" to label and explain certain bits. It's great to have all of the key information summed up so neatly (including, for instance, the simple explanation for the appearances of TOS Klingons!)-- very enjoyable to read through, and then use as a...

R. Fletcher: Another typical DK visual dictionary but not nearly big enough to cover everything Star Trek. There should be one book per series. My biggest gripe is all the out-of-focus pictures. In this day and age of digital everything could the publishers not find enough decent photos to reproduce? Did they not even bother to ask the studio for high quality prints? I am sure if they asked a Trekkie somewhere they could have got some better shots than the crappy ones they used throughout the book. Mostly it is the characters that are fuzzy which is a shame as all the weapons and other stuff have great quality images.
