I've heard of them, saw a single sheet briefly years ago: does anyone have scans of the original Star Trek Maps they can share. I'm itching for a look at them.

What maps are you talking about? The ones included in TV's Guide's farewell to TNG special ed? Or that entire map book which came out more recently?

These are from 1980; Here is a description:
STAR TREK MAPS Bantam Books, 1980. Same as displayed at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC Star Trek Exhibit, set of four, giant, full color space charts of the classic five year mission of the Enterprise.
The lowest price I have seen is $250! Just would like a look at them.

He's talking about the fan produced Star Trek Maps booklet thing from years ago. I've heard of it, but have never actually seen it w/my own eyes and thumbed thru it. Apparently, it's a fairly decent series of "charts" of the TOS Universe and some Die-Hard Trekkers I know refuse to even consider the "Star Trek Maps" book.

I consider myself cosmically blessed to have found a good-condition intact set of these maps and the booklet Introduction to Navigation that accompanies them for about $15 on Ebay last year.
Unfortunately, the wallmaps are waaay too huge to even think about fitting on my scanner bed.
It's too bad, too, because these things are uber-cool. And, unlike the recent Star Charts, (done by the same guy, Geoffrey Mandel, who did a large part of the work on Star Trek Maps) it has multiple-plane views of stuff that lets you see more easily the locations of stars relative to the galactic plane.

the old saying... take a picture it lasts longer comes to mind.
I dunno if it's even possible or what resolution digital camera would be necessary... but you could try that method.
