Author Chip Carter stuffs Star Trek: The Book of Lists with 100 lists that highlight memorable moments throughout the beloved scifi franchise’s 51-year history, along with plenty of little-known facts, too.
This new 224-page full-color book from Harper Design, which is an adorable and easy-to-handle 7×9 hardcover, is broken down into 8 chapters, grouping together aspects like Starfleet personal, ships and technology, the future, and more.

There’s facts on all the Star Trek movies and television series; box office figures; information on the various races…. the list goes on… literally. Most of the lists are accompanied by color photos from the various installments of the franchise, though Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation dominate the content. There’s also graphics, movie posters, and prop photos.
