I also had a book titled "inside Star Trek". It had lots of interviews with the cast members as well as Roddenberry. It had pictures of the actual stage props internal construction, backstage photos and the like.

Still remember Shatners story of how he ate fruit salad almost everyday because that's all he could afford at the commissary. Also Niemoy's painfull ear prosthesis that he dreaded having to get put on.

Lots of other stuff I've completely forgotten by now.

Just remembered one thing, some of Mcoys surgical insturments were salt shakers that were from props considered for the episode with the salt-craving alien. They finally decided the future offered nothing new for a salt shaker and just used a plain 'ol glass one so the viewer could plainly see it was salt.

God help me I have no idea why I remember that...
