hmmmmm. So does this mean we are going to get the Star Trek version of Star Wars: 'The essential guide to vehicles and vessels?'

Just as long as this isn't like some sort of silhouette/profile sheet, I think it sounds cool. I wonder if they'll put in technical data along with detailed views.

Sounds like they're going to do more than that. It sounds like they're going to do some detail on the crews of those 30 ships, and why they're so "famous."

I would personaly like to hear about the history of each class. Specs are not on my top prioty list since that on about 90% of the known classes we have info on them already.

Is this an official publication or is it a fan work?

I'm thinking it's gonna be akin to the Passport in terms of size...

It's gonna be done by the same people who did the SotL calendar. Other than that, i can't really say official or not.

If that's true then let's hope they do their homework then. I also hope they put in plenty of pics of each one with some accuracy.

Nope, the book done by the SotL people is called The Unseen Frontier: Declassified Images from the History of the Federation. It's a coffee-table art book, sort of a Ships of the Line Calendar-meets-New Worlds, New Civilizations, from what I can glean. It's due sometime this winter.

Also bouncing around in limboland is Starship Enterprise, the next Okuda installment which we haven't heard about for months.

Adam Leibowitz (so-called "Mojo") and Rob Bochune are both animators for Foundation Imaging. Mojo goes as far back as the "Babylon 5" pilot -- he and Ron Thornton singlehandedly did the CGI for the original edition of the pilot. Check www.foundation-i.com for more info.

Hmmm... so given that it is by the Foundation Imaging guys, maybe Unseen Frontier got downsized into this?

The "Spotters" book is listed at Simon and Shuster for November 2001 ($16, paperback) http://www.simonsays.com/subs/category.cfm?areaID=44&ctgyid=160&Start=11 , but there's no listing for a coffee table big book o' ships for Winter 2001. Margaret Clark hasn't done any Q&A for several months, so we can't ask her if they are forms of the same book. The books seem to cover similar territory, so it's likely we won't see both.

In some of the last news to come out of the site before the editors vanished into the aether, Ms. Clark strongly intimated that no such Okuda book would be forthcoming, or indeed any other technical sort of work.

Well, a $16 paperback fits the bill of a biggish full-color book that might have been a hardcover in a previous life.
