Picked up a flat of Star Trek Books from a local auction the other day, Really only because I needed Star Trek Log Two to complete my "Log" collection from Alan Dean Foster, but also needed Star Trek 3 from James Blish

Most of these are TOS/Movie Era books, most in good or better condition - but you can really tell which ones have been read/re-read.

There are 25 books, that I picked up for $10.00 so not too bad of a deal.

Blish left out the two Mudd stories from the previous 12 books and then tried to adapt them both and make one story. He died before finishing, and his wife, JA Lawrence, finished it and added a 3rd, original story. Later reprinted with a new title.

Book 12 and an image from The Corbomite Manoeuvre that everyone remembers from the closing credits. A nice clean image from Chris Achileos' website, too. This is (almost) the last of the episode adaptations, but don't worry. There are lots more covers to come.

The cover image of the 11th volume of James Blish's Star Trek episode adaptations.
I have been buying these books from eBay and this one stands out because it was in MINT condition. No joke. 40 years old and £3.00. Where has this been kept??

I've never been one to keep things in their packaging, as my FunkoPop collection proves, but this has really been taken care of. Unread too. 🤷🏻‍♂️😳😊

Book 10 and a thoughtful looking Spock from the episode "The Galileo Seven", as featured inside the book. I should probably mention that every cover is based on one of the episodes in each book

Book 9 already, and an image from The Immunity Syndrome -first broadcast in the UK on Mon 10th Aug 1970. We had to wait quite a while, didn't we? A nice clean copy from Chris Achileos' website too.

Book 8. It took me a while to realise that the face in the background was supposed to be Gary Mitchell, but apart from a slightly weird take on William Shatner's face, I still like this one. I also like how the continuity error has been fixed on the gravestone.

The cover image of the 7th volume of James Blish's Star Trek episode adaptations. Did this happen in the episode? I may check later, but I don't think it did. Michael Forest starring as the god Apollo, a role he returned to 46 years later in the fan series Star Trek Continues.
