Of course I can't read a word of it but I was most impressed with the images of the Ent-C and some of the up close images of the Miranda, the Nebula, and Voyager. Nice shuttle images too. The Ent-E pictures are good even though it is my least favorite ship. Some of the images I have already seen once or twice on the web, but it is nice to have them in solid print. Thanks to Fructose for the pointer to Sasuga books. They were very friendly and much faster than I anticipated (I had it within a week.)
