Leonard Nimoy I Am Not Spock Book Review

I have been a Leonard Nimoy fan since I was little.

However, I had never read his book, I Am Not Spock.

I had read his I Am Spock, though, which is quite good.

But I Am Not Spock has for the most part been out of print or not as available for many years.

Luckily, I found it at a $1 book sale.

My book copy has definitely been well loved, let’s say, but it is complete and the ruggedness of it does not bother me.

Leonard released this book in 1975.

He talks about some aspects of his life and of working on various projects, including Star Trek.

Many people apparently took the book title the wrong way and thought Leonard hated the Spock character and hated Star Trek.

Quite the contrary.

Leonard loved Spock and Star Trek and the opportunities that character and show awarded him.  Not only on the show, but of what he did later also.

Leonard has lots of Star Trek stories and even has some memos he wrote to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and others in regards his thoughts and suggestions on various Star Trek episodes, and even mentions some of his favorite episodes.

This is not a very long book, but it is very good, if you can find it.

As Leonard and Spock would say, “Live long and prosper”.
