Star Trek Maps is a set of four maps and an Introduction to Navigation booklet.
Possibly the most technical Star Trek book ever produced, the booklet introduces the reader to galactic coordinates and basic vector calculus. The maps themselves are well researched and properly projected to 2D. The maps also include a list of Federation members and an overview of various planets visited in the original series.
[edit] Background information
A copy of the Maps was on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Star Trek exhibition.
Dealers are known to ask exorbitant prices for copies of the Star Trek Maps, despite the fact that it can occasionally be found on auction sites for much more reasonable prices.(citation needed • edit)
