Product Description:
"all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by."
From the earliest days of explorations, there has always been one tried-and-true way to navigate through uncharted reaches and one to find the way home -- the stars. Ancient mariners prized their star charts, knowing that they could guide them safely into a friendly port or lead them to the reaches of the mysterious East. Modes of transportation have changes but the stars are still our constant. When man took his first step into space armed with the very latest in computers, he took with him the same tool for reading the stars that the men who sailed under canvas carried.
When humans launched the first ship designed for long-range missions into the deep waters of interstellar space, the Vulcan High Command provided their star charts for the Enterprise™. But Jonathan Archer was not content with relying on the known. Although he used the Vulcan charts, he also added to them, and greatly expanded Starfleet's knowledge of the galaxy. Every generation of starship captain that followed has built on Archer's first steps.
Follow the course set by Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. Relive their extraordinary adventures as you find here, for the first time, the star maps that chart the routes these famous explorers took.

This is the first Star Trek themed reference book I have bought since the Star Trek Encyclopedia. Mainly because nothing has really been up to snuff since that one and because most things were not updated to include ENT.
This book is simple to use with astounding graphics. Every world from Classic Trek to Enterprise is referenced in it. It was definitely a good buy.

After reading "Elim Garak"s review I had to say
Geoffery Mandel is not 'new'. He's been around since the seventies,
worked with Andrew Probert, Rick Sternbach and Lee Cole.
Kind of wish he hadn't done this, contradicts some earlier work,
however I ditto Alex Rozenswieg's comments earlier here.

I was really hoping that there would be star charts of the Alpha Quadrant. The book is hard to follow at 1st. The art is excellent and the Voyager route home pages are great. But the book lacked a lot of detail. The section on how the quadrants/sectors are all divided up is cool. This is not a star chart guide as much as it is a galactic overview. It lacks a lot of detail.

...would've been fantastic for this 'Complete Atlas'.
The inside is very pretty, and the pull out maps are well done, although the quality of the paper on the pull-outs could've been better - I opened them once, and now dare not do it again as they may tear.
As a customer who wanted these charts to enhance game play in the Star Trek roleplaying game, I was disappointed to find there were a significant amount of omissions of planets and star clusters (the Lorenze Cluster, for example).

Overall, this book was entertaining, and is worth every penny. The color charts are appealing, and informative. I know where wolf 359 was, I know where founders' homeworld is, I know how close Cardassia is to the Earth etc... Now that I have a map, it makes sense why
There were a few things the book should have included: A 3-D map since space is not 2 dimensional; a map of the entire galaxy on a fold-out would have been nice.
