- Devise a look for the future. Construct strange new worlds. Create new life-forms. Design their clothes. Do it all in a week. And do it on budget. This was the mission for the creative staff of Star Trek. For three years just a handful of talented artists created the entire world of Star Trek.
- The STAR TREK SKETCHBOOK is a unique opportunity to finally see the sketches collected from these artists, providing insight into their creative processes. The Original Series was fortunate enough to have that handful of designers who overcame the creative constraints of a weekly television series to forge a vision of the future that has literally a cultural icon.
- Matt Jefferies created meticulous sketches of every aspect of the Starship Enterprise and the worlds she visited. The energetic illustrations of William Theiss depicted some of the most lavish costumes ever worn in this or any other galaxy. Fred Phillips designed makeup that actualized whole new races, with just Humans underneath. Wah Chang created props and hardware that are still the basis of futuristic design.
- For a writer, the sky is the limit. You can create anything, imagine anywhere. The designers on Star Trek had to make it real, affordable, and come back and do it all again next week. The STAR TREK SKETCHBOOK allows you onto the sound stages where it all happened.

Commentaires[]
- Le livre fut co-écrit par Herbert F. Solow (exécutif en charge de la production sur TOS) et son épouse Yvonne Fern Solow.
- Star Trek Sketchbook fut publié quelques mois après la fin de la production de l'épisode DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", obligeant la recréation de nombreux décors originaux. Herman Zimmerman commenta que s'ils avaient su pour ce livre, ils n'auraient pas eu autant de difficultés car ils durent conduire des recherches archéologiques pour réaliser cet épisode. ("The Magic of Tribbles: The Making of Trials and Tribble-ations")
- Un an après sa sortie, ce livre est sortie en édition limitée dans un coffret comprenant l'ouvrage "Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies".
