Star Trek Science Logs

I recently acquired a book by this title (used, good condition, original 9.99 pound price tag still on it, for a bargain price) and will be looking over it in detail when I'm tired of everything else I'm going through.

Anybody else have it? Frankly, from a quick flip-through, it doesn't seem to meet the quality of the blurb/reviews claiming it explains the behind-the-scenes reasoning behind science in Star Trek, but I suppose I'll see.

I have it. It's a fun Trek book, but often it's Bormanis saying "this isn't real, but we needed to make up something of quality X, so this is it. But it's kinda sorta half-ass based on Real Thing Y, so I'll talk about Real Thing Y for awhile now."

I didn't see anything that useful.

I liked it.
I learned a few things about real science in there, bnut it is true that you don't learn everything about ST science though.

Coming late to this but I bought the book when it was new because I thought it could help me with these debates, it has some fun flavor text and tells a bit about real science. It's probably really useful in writing a star trek story only.
