Cast and Crew Books

Star Trek TNG it my favorite T.V. show! This book is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! READ IT!!!!!

I received the book yesterday in the mail, and I'm really enjoying it! I have read so much about the different characters, but there are always aspects we don't know. I loved the Brent Spiner chapter, I didn't know his make-up had been removed with a kerosene based remover! It was the little things like that, that have made the book highly enjoyable. The pictures are great too, I love the one on the back cover. I think the cast of TNG consits of an exceptional group of actors, who are highly talented and very enjoyable to watch and read about! I'm very passionate about the series, and consider it to be one of my favorite shows. Thanks for writing a book where I can read more about the cast when I need to. They are truly wonderful. Thank you! LJB

This is a necessary book for any Next Generation fan. It takes the rumors we know and the facts we never heard and combines them into one useful text. I learned more about the actors from the series than I had anywhere else. I truly hope another one comes along. Great pictures too

Being a lifelong Star Trek fan, I'm used to reading about Trek. A great many of the biographies and "histories" of Trek are boring and poorly written. Finally, here's a book that not only gives you interesting details about the crew we know and love (Yes, the Next Generation crew), but it's well written. This book gives us intimate portraits of the Star Trek actors, the actors who seem so much a part of their roles it's a shock to see them out of uniform. The book reads like a breeze, and confidently exposes the lives and loves of the actors we feel we know so well. Some of the details Shrager elicits are moving; for example, learning of Patrick Stewart's unhappy childhood makes one feels all the more satisfied that he has hit it big. Of course, the browsing reader will enjoy the spectacular photographs, which create a kind of dizziness when you first see them (Jean-Luc with hair! Worf on "CHiPs"!), but the more careful reader will note the way ! Shrager blends intimate details of the actors with the nature of the characters they play. This is good stuff. On a comic note, the great cover you're looking at caused the hacks at Paramount no end of worry; they had the same cover slated for a book they released months later. Of course it flopped; it was nowhere near as good as this one. Buy it, read it, love it.

I LOVE Star Trek: The Next Generation. While I couldn't put this book down, it left a lot to be desired. It is basically a collection of mini auto-biographies about the cast focusing on their acting careers. If you want to know more about the characters they play this book offers little insight. If however you are looking for information on the lives of the actors,then this is the book you want. And the title holds true: the crew of the Enterprise-D is the finest crew in the fleet, in any time period.

I continue to look for a book that conveys the myriad practical details needed to put together a successful video program. I'll have to admit this is one of the best textbooks I've seen on the subject; but I continue to search for a more practical guide to the art/science of live video production.

This is one of the best books that I've every used. I had it for 5 years and I use it all the time. it's great for beginnners, and professionals. I own my own video productions company.
I'd recomend it to anyone and everyone!
