  • Unlike its source material, the Japanese version, measuring 30×21×1 cm, was released as a high quality edition, i.e. high grade glossy paper with full color reproduction of images.

That edition was slightly expanded and updated to include some preliminary information on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager as well, they, to be more thoroughly covered in the follow-up release in the series.
