Review:
This is a beautiful book that is a perfect gift for any Trekkies in your life. The book is much larger than I expected (around 30cm squared) and is a really well made with a padded front and back cover and seven wonderfully detailed pop up designs inside. This isn't a children's book but it's great for teens and adults who are fans of Star Trek (it includes designs from Original series, Next Generation, Voyager and Deep Space 9).

Each of the pop ups feature an iconic image from the show:

1. U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701
2. "The Trouble with Tribbles"
3. Klingon Bird-of-Prey
4. Borg Cube
5. Deep Space 9
6. "Bride of Chaotica"
7. Enterprise NX-01

There is accompanying text with detailed information about the episode or series the image was taken from and although I doubt I'll reread the text I'll certainly revisit the book just for the pop-ups. Star Trek Pop-Ups is a lovely book to leave out as a conversation starter, it's certainly the kind of book you'll where you'll be able to flick through again and again spotting more details every time you look at it.

I've included a couple of images of the pop ups (take from Amazon) so you can get an idea of how detailed these pop-ups are:

Enterprise NX-01

Borg Cube
