Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball had a good thing going until it got Paramounted.

I remember when that book came out after Roddenberry died.

Good Reads has a blip on it - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1138973.Inside_Star_Trek

I have a couple Star Trek Encyclopedias (and a million of the paperback and hardback novels covering the multiple series too).

I remember being out in L.A. on a training trip and that ended up being the week the Pope was there. So our training course had a day off in the middle of the week and I had to decide which studio to go to - Paramount or Universal (this was right before TNG came out). I ended up going to Universal.
