What a great book. I love the layout - for me it was like looking through a family album and visiting old friends. It really gives you a sense of what it was like to work on Star Trek. - Joe D' Agosta, Casting director of STAR TREK: The Original SeriesThe TOS Celebration is a stunning immersive look at one of the most groundbreaking TV series in history. From a design standpoint, TOS may never be equaled. It encapsulates an era of optimism and the futurist movement. We take for granted so many things, from computers, communications, and interfaces that were in their infancy at the time Matt Jefferies and his team were designing the series. They not only were able to design the future, but they did it in a mindful way on a Network TV budget that is minuscule by today' s standards. The comprehensive behind-the-scenes details are captivating, showcasing the practical and visual effect done by some of the pioneers in the industry. - Dave Blass, Picard production designerA splendid celebration of the original, legendary STAR TREK television series that is literally teeming with fascinating first-hand accounts and insights from the show' s iconic main cast, behind-the-scenes crew and key guest stars - gleaned from both brand new conversations conducted just for this book as well as their most notable past interviews and writings - to provide a remarkable and truly delightful look at all facets of TOS' s production! And enhanced with a breathtaking array of rare imagery that includes many set design sketches and costume design drawings as well as behind-the-scenes soundstage photos, this volume is certain to be a cherished addition to any Star Trek or science fiction or television history aficionado' s reference library! - Gerald Gurian, author of To Boldly Go: Rare Pictures from the TOS Soundstage
