As for their deadlines... Why the hell would they have a deadline before the end of the season?! Do they really think we're so stupid as to want the book early, whether it's missing such a crapload of information or not?! I'm quite certain just about everyone here would rather wait a couple months than be missing all that! *fumes@publishers*

The encyclopedia was originally due out in June, I think. If they pushed it back, why didn't they include info up until the end of the season? Those shows were probably finished by April, or early May. Also, wasn't there some talk about six months or so ago about a book that listed ships? It was posted on one of the old forums, something like a ship identification guide (does anyone else remember this?). Finally, does anyone know if there are any new Jackill books or blueprints out? I haven't been to a convention in over a year, that's where Iusually see them

Sternbach has repeatedly said we'll see a Voyager TM before we see a Ships of Trek book, largely due to the absolutely titanic amount of time that would have to be put into a ships book. I can see where he's coming from.
Additionally, he's muttered something about a 10th anniversary edition of the TNGTM for 2001 with color illustrations and new stuff on the Sovereign. Now there's something I could sink my teeth into...

TSN: It has little to do with the publisher, I'll wager, and everything to do with the printer. Simply, putting out a book is hard work. They want to release it close to the holiday season, and because of that they have a very limited timeframe in which to work.

chaz: I spoke to a couple of folks at the last convention I went to, and they informed me that Jackill has "dropped off the face of the Earth" since publication of Volume 3. Apparently there was a divorce, and a new job, ad he doesn't seem to be doing anything trek-related anymore. Pity.
I was one of the folks talking about a ship ID guide, but there doesn't seem to be any new progress in that area, AFAIK.

It's liek what they did with the micro-machines. When they came out with the second set, they put one new one with two old ones so you had to buy three just to get one you didn't have.
