Other Peoples' Star Trek Memories.September 13, 2008 Apparently William Shatner's recall of making the original series was a big fat zero unless it related to his character. So upon deciding to pursue this project he set out to interview former cast and crew. This is when he came face to face with hidden resentments felt by his castmates. If you are looking for the definitive making of then look to Robert Justman's 'Inside Star Trek'. This is a readable, if slightly unreliable skip through making of the original series.

Firstly, yes I am a star trek fan.
When I read this book i think it came as much of a shock to me as it did to the author to find out what is fellow "crewmates" thought of him. The way this is handled shows a man who grows simply my making the journey of writing this book. At the begining you do get a feel of Shatners self importance, moving through anger & disbelieve to a need to make up for past behavious. This is more telling than the anecdotes contained in the writing as many of them are already familier to fans, although it is nice to get them from Shatners point of view and collected in one place.
Good read, more interesting for non trek fans wanting an insight or just a nice thing to have in your collection if you are a fan.
