I found the Star Trek Technical Manual at a used bookstore the other day, I can't believe I've never heard of it before! It's got amazing diagrams of all kinds of things, from a pattern for a ladies' star-uniform (including space-panty) to a plan showing you where the toilets are on the bridge. It is my new favorite book.
**************** 16 stars!!!

Wow, the toilet's right next to the viewscreen. Even weirder, the Captain's chair on the bridge doesn't actually face forward. I guess the whole thing is very fly-by-wire, and the intertial dampers remove any sensation of movement, but still.
I vaguely remember the tech manual for the next generation. There was a cut-away blue print of the Enterprise D with a ducky and Porsche included.
I found a site that shows the images on the set, but I'll have to post a separate blog to post them. Would be cool to be able to post images in the comments.
We all concur with you, AI-BU of Nine.
That's pretty cool! I heard of the bathroom thing. Fans began to ask at conventions where the bathrooms are. I didn't know about the off angle orientation of the bridge. Ah...I miss the trek.
BTW, on a tangent, am I the only one who keeps seeing guillotines on Battlestar Galactica?
i bet scotty really stinks the bridge up the morning after a brutal scotch bender.
