39 "The Making Of" and Other Licensed Works (rec.arts.startrek.tech reading list)
"Making Of" books are valuable to Treknical discussions because they
offer a view into what the production crew was thinking - if the
Defiant was designed around certain ideas, those might reoccur later
on. But more than anything, these licensed works are valuable simply
due to the authors having access to the production itself - they have
photographs of the models, set blueprints, prop design sketches,
preliminary starship renderings, etc.

In print. US$35.
A retrospective on Star Trek: The Next Generation - from
pre-production on the series through the movies. Good, but light on
information for us technogeeks to sink our teeth into. Most of the
interesting tech information consists of Okudagrams, blueprints, model
photos, and such, many of which have been printed before.
