I just plain read - and write - a lot. Also, enough imports and manual additions fail on this platform - and take so long - that I'll probably be a while before coming back to test it again. Which said, this test was much better than the last one. Until then, you can find my author and reader updates most often over on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/author/show/7731539.Wetdryvac

reviewed Star Trek star fleet technical manual by Franz Joseph

Franz Joseph: Star Trek star fleet technical manual (1991, Titan Books)

Review of 'Star Trek star fleet technical manual' on 'Goodreads'

Look, when I ran into the Nasa Graphics Standards Manual? This is what I thought of because this is what I read first, and this did it better - with NASA running some really good competition.

This thing's a bloody masterpiece, and got me into graphic design in a way nothing i'd seen previously even approached.
