The books arrived today and each had a 35mm film clip included.
Not sure why they were red tinted and not regular color stock film.

Click on the frame of Mr. Spock for some nice detail at a higher resolution.

Very cool. I think the red tint is maybe due to the aging film stock. That communicator looks different that Spock is holding.

A clip from 'A Taste of Armageddon', by the looks of the uniform in the background?

Got my revised first season book today and a piece of "Amok Time" film too!  Red - but it is Vulcan!

Just watched 'Turnabout Intruder'.
I forgot how good this episode was and one of the Shat's better performances!

After learning the truth about Janice Lester, Spock utterly opposes his captains authority.
Kirk commands the immediate execution of Scott and McCoy for mutiny.
Spock recounts the culmination of all experiences of the crew and their travels and asks them to take a leap of faith.

Now I'm looking forward to the final episode chapter in the third edition of 'These Are The Voyages'.

Kirk's last spoken words of the series, "if only.. if only"

It's made easy by using your amazon account.

Backing this kick-starter early delivery option seems the logical thing to do.  :vulcan

Amazon linking does make it easier, and more of an impulse thing for me..

I showed a friend at work my Volume One and he quoted the Shat saying 'get a life'.
Think I'll spend an extra $10 to have this one personally autographed, lol!

What happens if they don't reach the goal? Does that mean the money is refunded or you just wait longer to get the book?

They're trying to raise 20k by the end of this month for printing and shipping in December.
If not successful, nothing will be charged to my account at that time.

The books regular publisher has a target date of sometime next year.

davekill

They made their goal and will ship in December.
Also listed is a copy of both volume 1 and 2 eBooks available for just $15 too.

What's funny about this campaign is that when it first listed it was implied that the "publisher" was resistant to release the third volume this year and Marc wanted to get it released. Then through some good investigating some Trekkies found out that Jacobs Press is Marc Cushman and so the listing was modified because of pressure from some who felt integrity was important. I like the books but Marc seems like kind of a questionable kind of character and some of his research may be faulty. There have been some pretty interesting discussions at TrekBBS about him and his tactics and ways.
