In an attempt to downsize my life and divest myself of many material things (but no, I'm not entering a monastery), I'm parting with most of my collection of Star Trek technical whatchamadoodle books. You can pry the TNG Technical Manual from my cold dead hands, but I'm setting the rest free.
They're on eBay ridiculously cheap - I want them to go to a good home, not make money. I'm happy to answer questions about any of these, but y'all will likely be familiar with them. No, the books will not be sold individually. Feel free to mention these auctions on other fora if you think there might be someone out there that would be a good caretaker for them.
My wife is handling the auction (under duress; she thinks I should keep the books). Although it claims shipping to US/Canada only, she says that she'll ship internationally for anyone referred personally (i.e. anyone on this forum, rec.arts.startrek.tech, etc).

Wow. If I didn't already have a third of those tech books, I'd buy the rest of that tech stuff from you right now.

If you sold it separately, I'd be tempted to buy the TNG Officer's Manual, I used to have a copy.

I should really do the same at some point. There's a box on top of my wardrobe full of most of these very books that I haven't touched in years.
The TNG technical journals are a bit of a blast from the past. I don't think I've seen a copy of either of those since they were first published.

Hey,
Hmm - if you don't sell them before the first of the year send me a note. I'm probably not buying things for myself till then....
