Collector’s Deluxe Signed Limited Slipcased Edition: Star Trek Memories by William Shatner with Chris Kreski

This listing presents an exceptionally desirable artifact of television history and science fiction lore: an authentically signed Deluxe Limited Edition of Star Trek Memories by legendary actor, author, and cultural icon William Shatner, co-authored with Chris Kreski. Published in 1993 by HarperCollins Publishers, this special issue was produced in a restricted total printing of 4,526 copies, housed in a custom pictorial slipcase featuring Shatner in his immortal role as Captain James T. Kirk.

Star Trek Memories stands as the definitive insider account of the creation, chaotic production, and enduring legacy of Gene Roddenberry’s original Star Trek television series (1966–1969). Drawing on extensive personal recollections, production logs, and candid interviews with castmates Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and James Doohan, Shatner delivers a fascinating, humorous, and unvarnished narrative. The memoir chronicles everything from early pilot budget battles and set mishaps to the fan campaign that saved the show for its third season and its ultimate metamorphosis into a global cultural phenomenon.

Bound in full black cloth with blind-stamped geometric cover titling and copper foil spine lettering, this edition was issued without a dust jacket. Housed in its original copper-toned slipcase adorned with a vivid color photo plate of Captain Kirk and the "W * S" monogram, this volume is hand-numbered 2820 on the limitation leaf. Authentically autographed directly below the limitation block by William Shatner in bold blue ink, this pristine, well-preserved volume represents an essential, investment-grade centerpiece for serious collectors of entertainment history and Star Trek memorabilia.
