...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.

This is a great trivia item that can give you perspective on the fictional universe of Star Trek.

This book is glossier than it appears on the website and I was pleasently surprised. It is no doubt a collector's item.
One small observation: The sector numbering system is inconsistent with earth sector being called sector 001 in "Best of both worlds - ST:TNG", The illustrations are very good, the stars and planets are designed nicely. Geographic classification details - worthy of praise. Overall a good reference book for all trekkies.
One word about graphics, though. The typography of page headers and bold lines in diagrams make it look like a kid's book. It is not. Star Trek is NOT a kid's fantasy. It is a great collaborative project of talented writers, scientists, engineers, graphic designers (and evident from this book - maybe even astrophysicists). It is one work of fiction that is made to look and feel like non fiction. I wish this book was designed like the interfaces by Michael Okuda that appear in the show.
