The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was Pocket Books's guide to the making of the first movie, which contained Robert FletcherMA and Fred B. PhillipsMA's costuming and makeup notes on the alien races and cultures glimpsed in the movie. The book is credited to Susan Sackett and Gene Roddenberry.

Description[]

This is the full, exhilarating story of a journey as exciting – and as grueling – as any the Starship Enterprise has ever taken – from the birth of Gene Roddenberry's great idea to the completion of a great movie ... a journey that carried cast, crew and hundreds of behind-the-scenes people as far as imagination, skill and the latest special optical effects technology could take them.
This is how it happened – the unexpected problems, the setbacks, the daily struggles and victories – from the reunion of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, and the rest of the crew to the final moments of triumph in ... The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
