To Boldly Go: Rare Photos From The TOS Soundstage - Season Two

This volume presents over 400 rare, behind-the-scenes images - many in full, vivid color - from the making of the second season of the original, legendary Star Trek television series (NBC, 1966 - 1969) which starred William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. All of the photographs shown in this edition come from the author's personal collection, which is over four decades in the making and consists of thousands of rare NBC publicity shots, candid still photos/negatives taken on the Original Series sets, and rare Lincoln Enterprises film clips (the unused pieces of printed footage, called the "trims" and "outtakes", that were left over after the Desilu Studios film editors assembled the desirable footage into the finished master versions of the Star Trek episodes). The unused film clips were then discarded by the studio and sold to fans by Gene Roddenberry's company while the show was still in production. Many of these rare photos were featured in black-and-white format in the Saturn award winning three book series These Are The Voyages: TOS by Marc Cushman (Jacobs/Brown Press, 2013 - 2015); and now they are displayed - the majority in color - alongside a wealth of additional imagery. The author has personally digitally restored all of the rare photos in this edition, and has paid careful attention to recreating the bold and vivid colors that were present in the original broadcasts of the episodes. So, it is believed that readers will enjoy some of the finest, historically accurate rare Star Trek photo restorations ever produced; featuring what are likely many entertaining images that they have never seen before. The rare pictures in this collection are all accompanied by informative descriptions, on occasion quite extensive, about the filming of the related scene. All told, this volume represents an entertaining and unique photographic history of the making of the second season of TOS.

In a year which celebrates 50 years of STAR TREK THE ORIGINAL SERIES, Trek author and historan Gerald Gurian once again delivers a gift to the fans of the Classic Trek series with his new book, this time focusing on one of the best STAR TREK seasons of all time, the season 2 of THE ORIGINAL SERIES.This book,as good as the Season 1 book, delivers tons of publicity and behind the scenes photos from TOS Season 2, and for me, a guy that is a fan and collector of STAR TREK since 1980, I can tell I have never seen circa of 80% of these photos before. Truly rare stuff makes this one the best STAR TREK book of the year. Mr Gurian has done it again and deserves the best kudos for his work and his love for STAR TREK.So if you want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of STAR TREK with class, buy this book and thank me later.Cant wait for the Season 3 book, sincerely !

This book really covers the off screen antics of the original crew. It contains many unseen images from Star Trek's second season. The color pictures are of a very high quality. These rare images are delightful, all presented in one edition, a great resource for any trek fan. Each episode is presented in it's production order and the book even has a section of miscellaneous images of "Life on the Set". I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the original Star Trek or who is a student of classic television production and the going's on behind the scenes. Hoping to see a third season version warp into view soon!

Gerald Gurian hits the ball out of the park again with this beautiful Season Two book! Highly recommended, fun reading, amazing rare photos, a foreword from Doug Drexler, what more could you want! Okay, you asked for it, want more?....This book was released on Sept 8, 2016, Star Trek's 50th anniversary date! So cool. Gerald is a Trek expert and uber-fan and you can see him and his amazing collection in the recent Smithsonian Channel's "Building Star Trek" special!
