I picked this up in 1976 from the book store on Pioneer Kaserne in the town of Hanau located in what was then known as West Germany.

Well, Mr. Swisher, these things are selling at anywhere from $20.00 to $800.00 today, depending upon condition. As I managed to get Nichelle Nichols to autograph my copy before she died, I'd say mine is valued a little more than that. You shoulda bought one too! In any case, it's a good acquisition for any Trekkie to have in his/her library, and no, mine is not for sale, nor can it be checked out.

Inside it you will find, dimensions, engineering drawings, floor plans, schematic diagrams, documentation including Federation treaties, Star Fleet regulations, uniform details, color samples, etc. You want to construct a single stateroom in your Star Trek-themed house?
