Love this bit on p. 36 of Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier:
Gotta track down all of these (well, not too concerned about the Bantams or most of the Logs).

I'm not sure if I have a copy of the Concordance or not, but I'm pretty sure I still own all of the rest. It's a fine list.  |

The Concordance is fantastic, and since it isn't gaming related you can still pick up copies on eBay for a buck.
For some reason I was thinking that the medical reference was the first movie-era technical manual, but I guess it actually predates it by nearly a year.
Wikipedia has some manuals listed that I haven't heard of. The "Star Fleet Technical Supplements Booklet No. 1" from 1977 sounds intriguing.

Star Fleet Handbook - there is some info here: fanlore.org/wiki/The_Starfleet_Handbook I was able to find the scans to the later issues, mentioned there. Let me know if you want them. Great stuff! |

A quick comment about these. The Logs are the Alan Dean Foster novelizations of the TAS episodes and the 1-12 books are the James Blish adaptations of the original episodes. However, the above list isn't complete. The only way to get all of the episodes (I believe) is to also track down a volume called "Mudd's Women" that includes the Harry Mudd episodes. I'm pretty sure that the Mudd stories are not in the Log or 1-12 books.

I think it’s called Mudd’s Angels, by Blish’s widow.

I think it’s called Mudd’s Angels, by Blish’s widow. You are correct, sir. That's what happens when I get braincramp.  |

I suppose titling it Harry's Angels would have been too on the nose!

I have another resource to add to the list. It's called Star Trek: The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Illustrated Handbook and it just came out (Oct 2019). Basically, the book looks at ship systems, uniforms, etc., for the TOS era. Warning, there is a bit of material from Discovery and also quite a bit about the 1701A refit from the movies. I got this from my wife for Christmas. Mine is the deluxe boxed set, which also comes with a 1701A model to go on my shelf. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/star-trek-ben-robinson/1130639886?ean=9781858755786#/ |

That looks neat. The description makes it sound like each version has its own section, is that the case? Is it easy to separate out the show, movie & Discovery stuff from each other?

It is pretty easy to separate the various parts. They start with a short section on Discovery, then spend almost half of the book on 1701, then the other almost half is devoted to 1701A. Like a lot of picture-type books, the thing is highly visual with color pictures and some text. I haven't spent too much time with it, but overall I feel like it's a worthwhile resource.
The bummer is that at B&N all of the copies were in shrinkwrap, so it's a sight-unseen thing.

Hmm. I'm intrigued, it sounds like I might have something to add to my get list.
