Maybe the ship was stolen from the Starfleet Museum and disapeared soon after... Prahaps it was stolen by that Fanboy Alien from Futurama.

Well I was able to skim the book today at Barnes and Noble. I wouldn't recommend it for purchase. For one thing the scenes are considerably scaled down (the book is fairly small) and some scenes even have sections cut off. For example, the scene with the Ent-D and the "Stingray ship" has a portion of the picture with Stingray's left nacelle cut out. The only interesting thing I found in the book is that the "Stinray" is called the Altair and it's not from the far future but a prototype commissioned by Starfleet to create a starship chasis that can achieve higher warp velocities.

There's a photo that's SO appropriate.. but so naughty..
Oh well.
How are the pages set out? Are the pictures on double page spreads with explanations on other pages, or overlayed on the image? Are there any new images aside from the front cover?
On the Left page a small one sentence discription or quote with the picture on the Right page.
I never had all the Calenders, so I couldn't tell you what images were new or old but I did see one pic which had a Miranda plummeting into a planet with its life boats landing on the surface of the planet.

Which is sad since I wanted to see how it would look like... you think Mojo will release them?

So.... did anyone notice the similarities between the "modified" Enterprise-J and the Altair? It's the same bloody ship, only without the saucer! Now that's lazy...

Not only that, but the crack-smoking person who wrote that inane caption (and who is most certainly NOT Doug Drexler), should be shot. The ship is obviously not a 24th century prototype, but a ship from the 26th century. Apparently the caption-writer never saw ENT's third season.

Yes, like I said over on SFM, it looks like they just removed the saucer of the Ent-J and "tada!", they had a new, slightly cooler ship. The very forward bridge module type section is probably the only difference.
