== Background information ==
*Eaglemoss employed the 22.86×2.18×29.21 cm measuring hardback in dust-jacket book format as its standard release format for nearly all their Star Trek-related reference book series, starting with this title as the very first one.
*The Starfleet shuttlecraft entries are particularly noteworthy as these production background articles had not been previously incorporated into the source magazines.
*The book offered co-author (and Starships Collection project manager) Ben Robinson the opportunity to have newly-available imagery added to the book, which he had received after the original articles had been published in the magazines. Robinson had shared some of this imagery with his followers on his Twitter account earlier.
*Until the publication of Volume One, the 1999 Japanese-language publication Star Trek: Official Guide 4 - Mechanics had been the only known licensed reference book that dealt specifically with studio models. However, whereas the Japanese work focused on the final products, the focus of the Eaglemoss publication was aimed at the design process of the models in question.
