This book is a total let down, to say the least. To say that it is lacking, is an understatement. The photographs were of only average quality. I expected more insight and details of the ships than were included in this book. The text was a bare minimum. Once again, I expected much more detail. I am surprised that this book was even approved for publication. Save your money and look elsewhere.
I am giving it two stars because it is a Star Trek book. A substandard Star Trek book is better than none at all, I suppose.

While ordering this book I was hoping that it would have some layouts of the inside of the ships and details with a lot of cool pictures but I feel like I kind of got cheated. The book has around 180 pages but there's like nearly 86 pictures of just star ships floating around and half of them are very boring shots. The texts are short on every page and I'm pretty sure I can read through the whole book within 15mins. Anyway it looses interests after a few minutes. I wouldn't bother with this book unless you just want something nice to look at once in awhile.

Ships of the Line (Star Trek)
This is a great book, if you want to see what the ships look like. There isn't much in the way of written specs, but the artwork is fabulous.
Rating: -
"Ships of the Line" is a handsomely illustrated volume of Star Trek art. Originally presented in the annual Star Trek "Ships of the Line" calendar, this volume adds some history or point of reference to each of the paintings. Some are directly from episodes from the 5 Star Trek TV series or movies, and some extrapolate further into the Star Trek mythos. My biggest complaint, and it kept this from being a 5 star rating, is the size of the book, I own all the calendars that this artwork is from, and the original sizing was 24 x 12 (double page calendar) and they have been reduced to 11 x 7. This can make for some clearer images but it also hides some of the details in the shrinking. I like having the images collected in a book like this. It does add to my sci-fi and fantasy art collection quite nicely.
Rating: -
Some of the illustrations look like pre-production art of things that were much different in the various series. Some technical details would have been nice. More of the story behind each illustration would have been wonderful. More views of more ships would have been great. I am afraid that the target was not locked on this one.
