[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] Having recently purchased [i]Jackill's Reference Manual Vol. II[/i] and [i]Starship Design[/i] on eBay (they *should* be on their way to me), I was wondering if there was any structure or method in the madness that is fandom. First of all, Jackill's manuals seem to be quite rare, because neither Amazon, New Eye or Intergalactic sell them, and the only one on eBay ATM is already at 20+ euros. Should I really be prepared to pay big bucks for the other two volumes? And what about Jackill's datasheets you can buy directly from his site? Are those anything more than 5-views? The same goes for Guenthers [i]Ships of the Star Fleet[/i] series. Amazon lists it but has no used versions of it ATM and New Eye is sold out. I've never seen them on eBay either. So, apparently, quite rare. IIRC, this book introduces many of the Movie-era designs like the [i]Belknap[/i]. And now for an list of books I don't have (yet). I'm looking for descriptions/reviews for these books. [i]USS Enterprise Officer's Manual (+ Revised)[/i] I only know that the original is a spiral-back fan publication. The revised edition apparently was updated to comply with Shane's Guide to the Enterprise. [i]Starfleet Line Officer Requirements[/i] This book is by David Schmidt (fka Treknophile). That's all I know. [i]Starfleet Dynamics[/i] See above. Is it true this book is basically the same as above, but rewritten? [i]The Federation Reference Series 1-6[/i] Some not very impressive looking datasheets I saw on New Eye's site. Worth anything? [i]Starfleet Uniform Recognition Manual[/i] Almost won this on eBay. Is this worth getting for anything more than 2 dollars? And then onto the RPGs (SFB, FASA, and uhm.. LUG or something?). I'm not really interested in the game of course, only in the starship designs. Especially the whole Larson/Loknar and Orion Wanderer/Lotus stuff. But I have no idea how these were published, and how rare they are today. Any big names I've forgotten? I have already got the Spaceflight Chronology, FJ's Manual and Blueprints, the TMP Blueprints, Mandell's Maps (new and old), Shane Johnson's Worlds o/t Federation and Scotty's Guide. And the usual Pocket Books 'official' stuff. Obviously. [/QB][/QUOTE]
