Is it a good book, Jory?

So far, yeah. I've only just started it. There's also an Original Series 365 book that I've had for a couple of years that's also good. The books are a lot longer than 365 pages since only the pages on the left side are numbered. Those are the pages with essays, production info, and behind the scenes stories. The pages on the right are photos; a mix of episode stills, behind the scenes pics, and photos of props and merchandise.

Pretty sweet books. I only just learned there's a whole 365 series, not just devoted to Star Trek.

Two of the best books I have ever read are:

The Hero of a Thousand Faces - Joseph Campbell
The Fractal Geometry of Nature - Benoit Mandelbrot

Both look at life through a very special lens.

She is a New York City Classic Rock Disc Jockey and has been doing that since the 1970's when classic rock was current rock and females and Jews were a rarity in that line of work. She grew up in the town next to mine.
