News Item<\/strong>: Many die-hard Star Trek fans go out of their way to collect anything and everything related to the science fiction television and movie series. There are action figures, comic books, trading cards, mugs, t-shirts, and even furniture based on the franchise that began in the 1960s. A recent story in the Home section of the New York Times highlighted the fascination that some Trekkies have for Captain Kirk’s U.S.S. Enterprise chair. These enthusiasts even go so far as to have sophisticated replicas of the chair built for their living rooms. The books below may not cover the architectural and interior design concepts of the Enterprise, but they do provide insight into the Star Trek phenomenon that continues to pervade American popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
