Star Trek: Star Charts

Post by BLACKSUN2000 »

Is this book canon? Where can I find a source which states if it's canon or not?

As a rule, book aren't canon.

There's very few exceptions.

I know the books aren't canon.

BUT, is that particular book canon?

Are you fucking retarded?

If you're asking about the accuracy of the research, read the book and check the episodes

Paula Block, licensing head for Star Trek wrote:Okay, none of the books are canon. That's 100% true.
(Link)

Even we assume that to be only true for books written when that statement was made (late 2005), that still covers the book you're talking about, which was written in 2002. It's only "canon" in the same way that you might call the Star Trek Encyclopedia or Memory Alpha "canon," since it's describing things that have taken place in the episodes and movies. If there's anything in that book that isn't supported by an episode or movie then it ain't canon, end of.
