This is Star Trek Blueprints: the Complete Set of 12 Authentic Blueprints of the Fabulous Starship Enterprise General Plans, Constitution Class, U. S. S. Enterprise Paperback – 1975 The Star Trek Blueprints (or Booklet of General Plans) are a detailed "Complete Set of 12 Authentic Blueprints" (sized 9-by-30 inches) of the USS Constitution (NCC-1700), a ship of the same class as the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). (The cover claims the blueprints are "of the Fabulous Starship Enterprise".) While much of the information included on these plans might now be considered non-canonical or as apocryphal at best, they were used as a source and reference for the first three Star Trek films. Excerpts from these, predominantly deck plans, were used as on screen displays in Star Trek: The Motion Picturewhen V'ger was reading the Enterprise's on-board database. The onscreen excerpts at least, remain considered canon. Based in part on a suggestion by Gene Roddenberry, an early, pre-publication version of these deck plans were donated to the Smithsonian Institution by Franz Joseph in April of 1974. They were displayed along with the eleven-foot original model of the USS Enterprise in the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum later that summer. Mounted behind Plexiglas on a wall underneath the ship, visitors to the "Life in the Universe" display were encouraged to fill out a form indicating whether they would want to see these and similar works published, as at the time, no publishing deal had been worked out: Random House's Ballantine Books division subsequently did indeed work out just such a deal.
