I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

If you can't even change your own dilithium crystals you'll never really be able to do any of your own starship maintenance.

Looks a little thin. That's the problem with Haynes. Too general. If you really want to properly maintain your starship you have to spring for the factory shop manuals.

I prefer the factory manual, but Haynes are always good for back-up.

They have one for the Titanic as well.

With the shop manual, you'd be able to do the full engine tear down and rebuild.  Sounds like a fun winter project.   [laugh]

The Enterprise one's too general. Too many models across too many generations. You can't drop that to one book.

I'd love one with the plans for the Death Star.

Personally, I'd rather go after an used Millenium Falcon. 

What the hell is an aluminum falcon?

Get on the Haynes site and look up manual number 4086.

Nice book cover. Workshop manual type guide aimed at teenage boys I reckon!
