I've only ever seen the Chronology with a different cover. Does anyone know if it is actually the same book? [ September 06, 2003, 07:40 AM: Message edited by: Harry ]

There's the US Wallaby/Pocket edition and a British Phoebus edition (with the dates in the title). I've heard that the Phoebus edition might be abridged in some way.

Hang on...it was published in 1979, and yet Rick Sternbach is credited on the cover? Buh?

Yup! On my copy, a Wallaby first edition from 1980, Sternbach is billed on the cover as "The Brilliant Artist of the Space Age"!!!

Liam, Rick's been a space artist and Trek fan far longer than he was working at Paramount. The brothers who wrote the SFC tapped him to do the paintings of the various ships therein.
You can also find his paintings in Carl Sagan's Cosmos (book and TV series) and Comet. He also did some late-game touch-up stuff on The Black Hole and The Last Starfighter, and I think he may have been peripherally involved in ST:TMP. He's been around the block a bit...

Sternbach was involved in the "ENTERPRISE FLIGHT MANUAL", which basically was a summary of Phase II set designs as of 1978, with treknical background data. He's credited under "Additional Console Design".

I know he designed the blinking light things that were overhead in the corridors here and there.
