    It looks a bit like the nose of the Defiant, which is kinda neat, since soft-canon says that the Defiant's nose actually is a giant torpedo

    Oh wow, I always thought that was just the TOS Enterprise, I didn't realise it was all of them. Must resist impulse buying...

    Ok, this may qualify as a reference book? Or maybe this is just a fan/prop book which might be a different thread. But it does look to have several sketches, schematics, and drawings.

    Star Trek Vault:
    http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/20ed/
    and
    http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Vaul...dp/1419700758/

    20ed star trek historical vault

    I obviously don't own it, but thought I'd bring it up. It came out in 2011 says Amazon so maybe someone has it.

    Sure it qualifies, it's a "reference" to 40 years of Trek history Tongue Out I am intrigued, it contains a blueprint of Captain Picards chair... Must be one complicated chair.
