U.S.S. Enterprise Haynes Manual (Star Trek)

Very happy with this purchase. I have all of the Star Wars manuals and the Back to the Future manual also. I really enjoyed them and am a huge Star Trek fan so this looked very good. I am not disappointed. Very informative. Includes every Enterprise from the NX-1 to the E. Also talks about how warp could work, transporters, photon torpedoes, etc. I purchased it used but it honestly looks and feels brand new. Not a single blemish or tear. This is a must have for any Star Trek fan. Very happy. No complaints.

By Ben Robinson, Marcus Riley - Pocket Books/Star Trek (2010) - Hardback - 160 pages - ISBN 1451621299 The U.S.S. Enterprise is without doubt the most famous starship in history. The vessels that have carried the name have saved the galaxy countless times and her captains, including Archer, Kirk, and Picard, have been legendary. This Haynes Manual provides in-depth information about these extraordinary ships, from the Enterprise NX-01, to Captain Kirk's Enterprise NCC-1701 and Captain Picard's Enterprise NCC-1701-D including histories of each vessel, technical information about their systems, and discussions of key technologies such as transporters and warp-speed travel. Find out exactly what powered these ships, how they were armed and what it took to operate them. The book features newly created artwork throughout, including full-ship cutaways of each Enterprise, key systems, and interior locations together with detailed new exterior views by one of STAR TREK's original visual effects artists. This Haynes Manual is fully authorized by CBS and technical consultant Michael Okuda, who spent thirteen years working on STAR TREK TV series and movies

Not quite what I expected, but I still like it. Would buy again. Recommended if you a Star Trek fan!

Not unlike others who have purchased this, after seeing the Haynes logo, I also expected this book to contain some more detailed cutaways and more in-depth information about the U.S.S. Enterprise's systems. Well, it doesn't, but it's not all that bad either. I'm not fanatic about Star Trek, but I do enjoy seeing how machines work. This book isn't like Haynes manuals for real-life vehicles, with tear-downs and rebuilds, written for D.I.Y. mechanics. This is more of a novelty item, (probably intended as such). This "Owner's Workshop Manual" is actually an interesting review of the Enterprise ships and related episode information, with lots of pictures and summarized information content. This is a great coffee table book, one that you or your guests can pick up and casually thumb through, browsing the interesting content. Die-hard Trek fans looking for detailed information, schematics and tear down pictures like a "real" Haynes manual contains will be disappointed with this book, but like I mentioned above, those looking for a great coffee table novelty book to casually browse through will enjoy this one.

Bought as gift for a massive Treky. They loved it.

Is your other car the Enterprise? Do you love Star Trek or know someone who does? If you answered yes to either of these, then you must get this book! Highly detailed pictures, cut-aways, and extensive information on every incarnation of the USS Enterprise. From NX-01 to 1701-E, including alternate reality versions. Enterprise history, systems overview, shuttlepods and shuttlecraft, engineering systems, main bridge, and more for every ship. Extensive information on warp theory, transporters, time travel, parallel universes, holodeck, you name it, this book has it. At 160 pages, with a forward by Michael and Denise Okuda, this book is an officially licensed product. It has become my second favorite Star Trek book ever, second only to the Star Trek Encyclopedia! Buy this book!

I own virtually every Star Trek technical manual ever published—and this one, published in 2010, is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The amount of mechanical detail (down to actual screws and bolts) is amazing. One could almost use it to build an actual USS Enterprise. Furthermore, it includes information on EVERY Enterprise, including the NX-01—a LOT of information packed into a small package. So much superior to the books Eaglemoss is now putting out.

And I love this book. Gives you cut away of the vessels, so you can see inside. Not just enterprise but lots of other cargo ships and space shuttles.

Nice book and definitely a collector item.

NXからE型までほとんど全てのエンタープライズを解説してあります。それぞれにカットモデルと5面図、特徴的な詳細解説もついていて大変充実しています。図のクオリティも均一的に高い水準を保っていて、大満足です。

Der "Haynes Enterprise"-Führer sollte 'das' Buch zum berühmtesten Raumschiff der Film und Fernsehgeschichte schlechthin werden. Das Projekt ist aber nur bedingt erfolgreich gewesen. Das Buch behandelt jede Inkarnation des berühmten Raumschiffs, angefangen bei der NX-01 der Prequel-Serie ENTERPRISE, über die beiden Enterprises unter dem Kommando von James T. Kirk, bis hin zu den chronologisch jüngsten Inkarnationen der NEXT GENERATION ziemlich detailliert: Zu jedem Schiff bietet das Buch: - Detaillierte Ansichten von allen Seiten - mit gerenderten Modellen - Gerenderte Modelle der Brücke und wichtiger Arbeitsstationen - Einzelne Abteilungen wie Krankenstation, Maschinenraum, Transporterraum werden zu einigen Schiffen beschrieben - Details zu Missionen der einzelnen Schiffe So edel sich das alles liest, so vermisst der Leser doch die Fülle an Fakten, die in den FACT FILES präsentiert wurden. Letztlich scheint "Haynes Enterprise" wie eine abgespackte Version dieses ultimativen Kommendiums zum Trek Universum. Zudem wurde an manchen Stellen sehr ungenau gearbeitet. So entsprechen die Diagramme der Enterprise-E beispielsweise einem 3D CGI Modell dass letztlich verworfen wurde, und so im Film nicht auftaucht. Desweiteren fehlt die Enterprise aus dem jüngsten Kinofilm: Sie wird nur am Rande erwähnt. Für interessierte Leser durchaus einen Blick wert. Fans bleiben lieber bei den FACT FILES und den verschiedenen TECHNICAL MANUALS.

Bought as gift.
