Star Trek: A Generation's Journey - Doc Pastor
Title published by the Dolmen publishing house, is of the most recent and focuses mainly on the original series (issued between 1966 and 1969) and the 6 movies of the original starship crew Professional (shot between 1979 and 1991).

Star Trek. The last frontier - Carlos Díaz Maroto and Luis Alboreca
Very comprehensive, he also tells us about him the origin of the series, as the authors examine title by title every episode. They also comment on the animated series, original crew movies or movies, as well as discuss the huge fan phenomenon that generated and continues to generate, with the conventions over the years or the merchandising around.
The Trekkie Bible - Ramón from Spain, Jordi Sánchez, Sergi Sánchez and Antonio Trashorras
It was published in 1995 and is a basic guide not to get lost in the infinity of aspects that the series has and includes: from the secrets of its success, which increased after its broadcast ended, its characters and most glorious moments, its leap to the cinema and its inexhaustible versions in any format.
I'm spock - Leonard Nimoy
Could not miss one autobiography of the actor who played the surely most iconic character from the series, that Mr. Spock who has already transcended him. It was published here in 2009 and is the translation of the original I am spock 1995. Nimoy tells his first contacts with interpretation in his childhood and then focuses on Star Trek where he was also director.
It also counts what involved him creating Spock and her relationship with him, which takes place in dialogues. Wanted counter the vision which he printed in his earlier autobiography, which he had published 30 years earlier under the title of I Am Not Spock where had left the impression that denied of the character.
The physics of Star Trek - Lawrence Krauss
Written in 1995 by Lawrence Krauss, scientist and doctor in Theoretical Physics, features an introduction by Stephen Hawking himself. And reflect and question the science possibilities shown in the Star Trek universe. Here it came in 2012, based on the version updated by the author in 2007.
Star Trek Memories - William Shatner and Chris Kreski
And for those who are encouraged by English, these cannot be missed memoirs of Willian Shatner, who also signs several books on the Trekkie world. The Canadian actor, despite more television career in other series after Star Trek, he will never stop being Captain Jim Kirk. And it goes on more than active in social networks. In this title, which came out in 1993, he tells us about his stories and personal vision about the series and movies, on and off camera.
Leonard: A Life - William Shatner
Finally, if you are a trekking pro, how not to get this title, where Shatner tells us his both professional and personal relationship with Leonard Nimoy. Both agreed as actors on the set of the series The CIPOL agent (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), in 1964. They did not imagine that two years later they would see themselves in a new series playing the main characters that would already mark the rest of their lives. At the same time, that professional relationship also became a personal friendship that would last for 50 years.
In a very emotional way Shatner tells us the story of that friendship, with many anecdotes and others not known about their lives on and off the sets. And compose one of those tributes that rarely occur between actors.
