Summary 
From the website
Star Trek: Designing Starships Volume Three is the story of how some of the most talented designers in Hollywood created STAR TREKs starships from the first sketches to the finished models that appeared on the screen.

This hardback book covers over a dozen new ships from the modern STAR TREK movies, from the Enterprise to a fleet of Federation ships that was barely seen. Along the way, it covers the thinking behind Klingon and Romulan ships and the heavily-armed U.S.S. Vengeance.

Background information 
The Narada was considered for inclusion in the Starships Collection as early as 2012 but the model was ultimately not released, though the text for the accompanying magazine appears to have been partially completed. Due to the intricate design of the studio model, it was deemed "impossible" to turn into a suitable miniature, according to project manager Ben Robinson, and has proven to be the only starship design the company has been unable to bring to market.
