If you are a model builder, then this book is a MUST. It is probably the best photo reference of Star Trek ships available anywhere.<P>You can purchase Star Trek Mechanics from <A HREF="http://www.sasugabooks.com/" TARGET=_blank>Sasuga Japanese Bookstore</A> for $36.80. You can find it at their site by using their search. <P>Star Trek Mechanics is a 160-page magazine-style book. It is soft bound, but has a full color, glossy jacket. Inside are full-color photos of almost every ship seen in Star Trek. These are production stills as well as close up detailed photos of the studio models. About the only ships you won't find in Star Trek Mechanics are the ones which were purely CGI, (like the Akira, Norway, and Steamrunner classes).<P>These are the ships in the book:<P>USS Enterprise (All versions including "All Good Things" battleship and E)<P>USS Voyager<BR>USS Reliant<BR>Saratoga Escape Pod<BR>USS Kyushu<BR>USS Excelsior (original and refit)<BR>USS Farragut<BR>USS Pasteur<BR>USS Defiant<BR>SS Botany Bay<BR>USS Stargazer (one photo of desk model)<BR>USS Zhukov (Ambassador Class- One photo)<BR>Galileo and Galileo II shuttles<BR>Travel Pod (ST I and II)<BR>Air Tram (ST I)<BR>Shuttlepod (Type 15 TNG - three photos)<BR>Shuttlepod (Type 18 Defiant Shuttle - one photo)<BR>Shuttlecraft (movie version)<BR>Shuttlecraft (Type 6 TNG)<BR>Shuttlecraft (Type 8 TNG)<BR>Shuttlecraft (Type 9 VOY "Speedboat shuttle")<BR>USS Rio Grande Runabout<BR>Deep Space Station K7<BR>Deep Space Nine<BR>Vulcan Shuttle<BR>Klingon Battle Cruiser (TOS)<BR>Klingon Battle Cruiser (K'tinga Class)<BR>Romulan Bird of Prey (two photos)<BR>Klingon Bird of Prey<BR>Klingon Attack Cruiser (Vor'cha Class)<BR>Klingon Warship (Nehg'var Class)<BR>Romulan Warbird<BR>Romulan Scoutship<BR>Borg Cube<BR>Borg Sphere<BR>Borg Transwarp Ship<BR>Cardassian Warship (Galor Class)<BR>Ferengi Marauder<BR>Jem'Hadar Attack Ship<BR>Maquis Ship<BR>Kazon-Ogla Warship<P>The back of the book features a seven page black and white section showing Greg Jein at work making various ship models and props. <P>The entire text is Japanese but the headings for each page are also in English, so at least you will know for certain what you are looking at (like you wouldn't already know...) <P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dat</b> <br /><small>Member # 302</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2000,7,21,17,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2000</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:48 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Bernd has already started putting up images from the publication at his site.<P>------------------<BR>Teddy Roosevelt: "Speak softly and carry a big stick."<BR>Yosemite Sam: "Well, I speak loudly and I carry a bigger stick...and I use it too!" <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nemesis</b> <br /><small>Member # 255</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2000,7,22,6,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 22, 2000</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:14 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Is there some way to buy this book in europe?
