This is just a book of quotations from Star Trek: The Original Series. Might have been neat, in the days before home video or streaming simplified access to the episodes, and the internet obsoleted paper collections or quotable quotes. The introductions to the themed chapters don't really add anything, so this book has no particular value today.

Over some seventy-one episodes, “Star Trek” advanced various insights to a legion of enthused viewers. Speaking about the society of the day, about life and death, about the human condition, it offered its universal perceptions in a way that television had never before embraced.

Within the pages of this little tome are the pearls of wisdom dispensed via the episodes aired during the show’s original three-year run. If you’re looking for a specific quote, the appendix offers them catalogued by episode. It a pleasant trip down memory lane, complete with pictures from the show.

Highly recommended.

A 1979 compilation of quotations from the original Star Trek. There are a few classics in here, but mostly these were selected not for being memorable or pithy, but for being "philosophical," or for fitting vague themes like "love" and "humanity." Out of context, many of them come across as pretentious. Or pointless. Or possibly both. Not really worth seeking out, even for serious Trek fans, except maybe as a completist collector's item.

This book was a gift from Sherri Turner. It's not one I would have chosen on my own, but it is fairly enjoyable. It consists of quotes from the classic Star Trek series, arranged by chapter in various subjects: Universal Truths, War and Peace, Emotion and Logic, and several others. Worthless as philosophy (the entire book is quotations), it is interesting as a reference of sorts.
