I never do reviews like this, but I was so disappointed with this purchase that I had to. I used to have the first printing of this book and it was great. I went to buy a new copy because I lost my old one, and I was not happy. For starters it is printed on-demand. The date it was printed is on the last page and it has the same date as when I ordered it, which is fine, however, it is printed from a scanned copy so the quality is horrible. The first printing was printed in black AND blue ink, the reprints are all in black, so there is a big issue with a lot of the graphics (especially when blue, black, and gray are used together.) The best part of this book was the graphics (it is a technical manual!). The writing is great, but the cheep xerox printed look leaves much to be desired. Do yourself a favor and get a more useful used copy of the first printing. - Note: it is still the first edition but not the first printing (there is no changes to the content - just the printing).

[This review applies only to the Kindle version]I purchased the original paperback version when it came out and loved it. Full of neat little illustrations and tons of background data, it was, and still is, the definitive resource book for TNG fans (right next to the Encyclopedia).The Kindle version is terrible. I'm sorry, Amazon, but you should be ashamed of yourself. The text is all there, but the illustrations, for which the book was known for (as another reviewer said, this is a TECH MANUAL, for crying out loud), are small, blurry, and look like somebody literally photocopied them (and not very well). To make matters worse, some of the illustrations are in the wrong place and don't even match their captions...thankfully, I have the original soft-copy book still.Please re-create this for Kindle...it's such a shame, I was so excited to buy this.

I still have the original from the 90s, but wanted a copy I didn't have to worry about wearing out further. While the original printing had crisp, two-color graphics, this was obviously a fairly quick scan/OCR job. The illustrations don't show much detail, and often have incorrect captions due to missing illustrations. The text itself contains numerous and obvious errors from the OCR process (lower-case "L" replaced with exclamation marks, etc.). It is accurate enough, but disappointing that so little care was taken to convert it into an electronic version.

Adding my voice hoping to bring down the star rating. I have the EXACT same story as the other 1 star raters. Had the original book from the 90s. I actually gave it away to a Trekkie buddy because I had read the thing cover to cover but later regretted it. I was excited to get this book back in my library BUT NO! The material is all here but they phoned in the printing. I think Xerox actually published this. I would rather have a used dog eared 90s version than this thing. Some of the illustrations are down right unreadable.

I used to own this in the print version and loved it. Lost it in a fire and decided to go "modern day presidential" with an electronic version on Kindle. I am VERY disappointed in how the artwork transitioned - almost every illustration is blurry and dark, with text that is difficult to read at best. Most of the flowcharts reproduced here are impossible to read. A number of the illustrations do not match the descriptive text. This is a very poor (and lazy) port of the printed book to the Kindle format - it's like the editor was asleep or just didn't care about the end-quality of the product. As to the text, format, thoughtfulness and depth of the information presented: 5 stars for sure. This is one of the best Star Trek related books I have ever seen, the authors of the text did a commendable job. Illustrations are profuse, detailed and well-rendered in the printed version - too bad they are so disappointing on the Kindle. Buy the print copy.

I've been hesitant to buy this for a while because the claims from people about the quality. Once I found out that you can return a Kindle purchase, I bought it. Considering the age of the original publication, I think this converted to Kindle very well. The LCAR style page markings are not present, a few of the graphics look like a copier ran out of ink, but, I have ZERO complaints. My original copy that I bought in '92 is very delicate and I don't want to keep using it for fear of pages coming out... this Kindle version is a perfect substitute. Now, if only Amazon would put the DS9 Manual on Kindle.

If you are a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation and a tech head, "Star Trek The Next Generation: Technical Manual" is a must. It has plans, schematics and illustrations of all the systems on the Enterprise 1701-D, with additions of the shuttlecraft, the captain's yacht, weapons and other aspects of Trek life. Want to know how the Structural Integrity Field works? Or maybe the Transporter or artificial gravity? It's all right here. (Want to know where they go the bathroom on the bridge? Sorry, that's *not* here.) It's all black and white (no color), clearly drawn illustrations and absolutely understandable explanations (if you can call lots of invented theoretical science understandable). There are little sidebars with behind-the-scenes insight into some of the thought that went behind it, who at NASA they consulted and what episode something appeared in. I wish there was lots more of these, but then maybe it would spoil the effect.It's a great reference for Trek modelers and just a fun book to look at if you like this kind of stuff. And it makes you think they really thought about the technology behind daily life fairly seriously (what, no breweries in engineering?!). Published in 1991, this is still a great book to have for a great series.
