Signed Limited Edition Hardcover in Dust Jacket: Hand-Signed by Grace Lee Whitney (The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy)
This entry showcases an authentic piece of Star Trek franchise history, science fiction television lore, and Hollywood memoir publishing: an original, signed limited edition hardbound copy of The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy, written and autographed by actress Grace Lee Whitney.
Best known to millions of fans worldwide for her role as Yeoman Janice Rand in Star Trek: The Original Series, Grace Lee Whitney (1930–2015) was an essential part of the early USS Enterprise crew alongside William Shatner's Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock. Whitney later reprised her beloved character across four feature films (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, and The Undiscovered Country), as well as an episode of Star Trek: Voyager. In this candid 1998 autobiography, featuring a foreword by Leonard Nimoy, Whitney shares her personal journey through Hollywood, her time on the iconic franchise, and her triumphant recovery over personal struggles.
Published in 1998 by Quill Driver Books, this hardcover edition comes complete with its original 3D-lenticular motion dust jacket, depicting Yeoman Rand flanked by Spock and Kirk. The front cover boldly denotes its status as a "Signed and Numbered Limited Edition".
On the book's official title page, Grace Lee Whitney has rendered a sweeping signature and inscription in bright red ink ("w/love Grace Lee Whitney"). The lower right corner is hand-numbered #841/1000.
Accompanied by an official Basic Certification card and serialized tamper-evident database label from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (#AT67080).
Preserved in fine condition with a clean 3D lenticular dust jacket, sharp spine ends, tight square binding, clean pages, and a vibrant red signature, this signed limited edition volume serves as an essential centerpiece for Star Trek archivists, sci-fi memorabilia collectors, and television history historians.
