Product Description:
Casanova, Don Juan, James Bond -- these are men of legendary romance, but only one man can boast that his seductive powers take him boldly where no man has gone before: James T. Kirk.
Captain Kirk's status as an interstellar stud is proven by his ability to seduce any woman, in any situation, in any part of the galaxy. From high-society princesses to unbalanced Orion slave girls, from gender-switching shape-shifters to emotion-deprived androids -- they all swoon, acquiesce, and malfunction from just one kiss.
But a single question remains in the minds of millions: How does he do it?
Captain Kirk's Guide to Women is the first book to answer this question by probing deeply into Kirk's character, charisma, and seductive techniques, making it possible for any man to model himself after the Casanova of the Cosmos. It is also the only warp-powered romance manual written with enough wit, charm, and humor to help the female of the species make first contact.
Employing meticulous research, along with fanatic-level detail and the kind of pointy-eared logic even a Vulcan would find fascinating, Captain Kirk's Guide to Women shows you how to be as effective as Captain Kirk.

Trekkers and even casual fans of the first Star Trek series will relish the tongue-in-cheek observations of CAPTAIN KIRK'S GUIDE TO WOMEN, a set of funny observations of the main women in the show - basically the captain's love interests. There are color photos of many of them - but disappointingly, not all. That caveat aside, the comments and history make for a fun guide for any interested in Captain Kirk and his erstwhile love life.

There are two reasons to buy this book. (1) The cover. (2) Sorry, there is no 'two'.
Here are some bare facts which may convince you to not buy this book.
(1) From the introduction: "I wrote this book because it is a well-known fact that many Trekkies have had some difficulties locking their tractor beams onto members of the fairer sex."
(2) From page 55: "Lesson Four: Increase Her Self-Esteem".
(3) From page 81, listing the "top pickup lines": "To [NAME], the loveliest ... Read More

The measure of a book of this type is how well it appeals to a broad audience as well as the "niche base" that's going to buy it, regardless, because of its devotion to the subject. No matter how hard author John Rodriquez tries to make an "across the board book" for the masses, "Captain Kirk's Guide to Women" is basically written for those that truly know the difference between a Klingon and a Romulan, the connection between a dilithium crystal and a warp core, or which is a better with whom to have a ...

This has all the bad qualities of a bad Powerpoint presentation. I saw this book at a physical book store, and I'm glad I did. I spent about six minutes with it, though I could have finished it in fifteen. It doesn't work as a Star Trek book, or a self-help book or a funny book. I don't see how the five-star reviews could be anything but shills for the author. There's really very little in the book.

I have Captain Kirk's Guide to Women on my coffee table and it ALWAYS prompts smiles and conversation when we have guests over. It's smaller sized so perfect to slip into your book bag or carryon for some on-the-go advice! Seriously, I really had fun with this and and so have many of my friends. And as a woman and a Trek fan I think "Bones" knows what he's talking about--gentlemen: this is GOOD advice. I realize that many Star Trek fans take things Trek very seriously and expect them to meet high standards. ... Read More
