Ever wonder what to serve at a Klingon Day of Ascension? Just can't remember if you bring a gift to a Rumarie celebration? Can't recall if on Galvin Five, a marriage is considered successful only if children are produced within a year or three of the wedding? You know that Damok was on the ocean, but you can't recall just what that means? Have no fear! Finally, you too can come prepared to any celebration held anywhere in the Federation. Culled from the data resources of every world, this comprehensive and handy guide will let you walk into any celebration with assurance. Clearly laid out are the complex and compelling cultures that are a part of this vast Federation. Plus: in a special section are the celebrations that have become part of the traditions of Starfleet. From promotion to ship commissioning, from the high solemn occasion of the passing of a member of the crew to the joyous exchange of marriage vows, you can be a part of it all!

Maureen McTigue's comprehensive guide to customs and celebrations in Star Trek reads like intergalactic version of Post's etiquette manual -- perfect for when you're scratching your head about what to whip up for a Klingon feast or the proper protocol for a Bajoran wedding.
It's fun.
It's quirky.
It's dated.
While comprehensive, it is only complete if you don't consider the two new Star Trek series (Discovery and Strange New Worlds) canon. You won't find information on Starfleet Remembrance Day, the Vulcan V'Shal ceremonial engagement dinner, or Zhian'Tara, the Trill rite of passage. However, you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about customs and traditions with anything published before 2001.
McTigue has done her homework, compiling info from every corner of the Star Trek universe. It's a nostalgic (and quick) ride through the series and movies we love, sprinkled with non-canon gems for the hardcore fans.
In short, Star Trek: Celebrations is your go-to guide for navigating the social customs of the Final Frontier. Highly recommended to complete a bookshelf. ( )
