Just looking to see what everyone has. Maybe we can all learn of some new ones to add to the collection!

I don't have a whole lot.

The Star Trek Reader I and II by James Bish. They're novelizations of TOS episodes.
The Next Generation Tech Manual. Ended up buying this off of Amazon (used) years ago for a stupid price and well worth it.
Star Trek Shipyards: Starfleet Ships 2151-2293, Starfleet Ships 2294-The Future (Pre-Discovery S3), and Borg and the Delta Quadrant. They're each a compendium of various ships and classes. There's a Klingon one and a Romulan one too if I remember correctly. Come with gorgeous high quality images, blueprints, cut aways and tons of in universe/behind the scenes information. Actually published by Eaglemoss through Penguin House.

I've got:

I, Q by John de Lancie and Peter David. The universe is being swallowed up by a huge whirlpool dubbed "The Maelstrom" and de Lancie's Q actually tries to save everyone.
Planet X by Michael Jan Friedman. I'm a huge X-Men fan as well as a Star Trek fan and this book is a crossover. I actually really enjoyed it and if I remember correctly it actually references another cross over that happened in the comics. There's even a bit where they poke fun at the resemblance between Picard and Professor X; the book came out before the X-Men movies were cast.

I think these books weren't well reviewed, but I loved them.

Ah shoot, I completely forgot about Planet X! Yeah, that's a fun bit of goofiness.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Both of those actually seem pretty interesting. Adding to the list! I'm down for anything Q and Star Trek crossing over with anything also immediately has me sold.

I came in just to talk about Planet X as well! It was certainly a fun little adventure.
