Star Trek 101 by Erdmann and Block

Star Trek 101 by Terry J Erdmann and Paula M Block, is listed as "A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where and Why". True to it's name, ST 101 assumes you know nothing about Star Trek and goes from there. There are brief articles on the fundamentals of everything from Klingons to Captain Proton.
My favorite feature of this book is the "Spock's Brain Award", which ranks the stupidest episode of each series.
Even if you feel you could have written all the articles form memory, this is a great resource for it's chronological synopsis of every episode. I will be unhappy when the library wants it back, as we almost daily turn to it to answer questions that start with "What was that episode....?"
