Ships of the Line (Star Trek) Hardcover – 4 Dec. 2006

It was not what I expected. The artwork was top class but I really wanted a book which took each starship and described it's various capabilities, just like another book I have. You certainly don't see all the starships you see on the front cover. However, if you are into the artwork for Star Trek then this could be what you have been waiting for.It looks like a charity shop will get the benefit of this book.

I would characterised myself as a 'casual Star Trek fan' with the level of knowledge that could be expected from watching the series and movies although I have read the odd novel.So for my level of expectation this book is beautiful and not overly filled with statistics and information.I agree with other reviewers here that this is certainly not an in-depth study of the starships but I don't think it was intended to be. It fulfills its target of being a beautifully illustrated book of the most recognised ships very well.I bought this for my brother who is very avid fan and even he thought it is great for what it is.If you're looking for a lot of information, give this a miss but if you would just like something beautiful to look at, this is for you.

Interesting book on star Trek ships well worth the buy if you're interested in star Trek ships

LIttle disappointed as the text on each page is just a few lines, so more like a photo / art book - you won't learn much from it.

"ships of the line" sounds like it should be a definitive reference book, on the cover are lots of ships I wanted to know about and look at but inside it really is just a series of well painted pictures of starships we are already more than familiar with, this is just a romantic look at what we are used to rather than a glimpse at what might be. I for one was somewhat dissatisfied with it.

Incredibly complex images and information on the many star ships in the star trek universe!

A hardback books with excellent illustrations and images. A real treat for avid Star Trek fans.I bought this for my son one Christmas, and he was very pleased with it.

The artwork is of an excellant quality, but the cover is very deceiving as the actual content only has the Enterprises as its core work and not as the cover suggests many others from the Star Trek Universe and it doesn't even give a history of the ships that are represented, so alittle disappointing.
