Star Trek: Official Guide 1 - Star Trek The Next Generation

Star Trek: Official Guide 1 - Star Trek The Next Generation was the very first outing in the Japanese language Official Guides-series from publisher Bunkasha, covering the spin-off television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Written by the publisher's own editorial bureau, Dullmax, it was a combination of Pocket Books' Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, the style of which having been adopted for this release. Unlike its source material, the Japanese version was released as a high quality edition, i.e. high grade glossy paper with full color reproduction of images.

First released in 1995, a second edition was published seven years later, though all references of it belonging to the Official Guide-series were dropped. That edition was slightly expanded and updated to include some preliminary information on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager as well, they, to be more thoroughly covered in the follow-up release in the series.
