These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One is an unauthorized reference book published by Jacobs Brown Press that provides an extensive episode guide to the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, written by Marc Cushman and Susan Osborn from a purely production point of view.
Summary
- From the first edition book jacket
- In the 1980s Gene Roddenberry and Robert H. Justman gave Marc Cushman permission to write the definitive history of the first Star Trek®. They backed their stamp of approval by providing documentation never before shared with the public. These Are the Voyages, published in three volumes – one designated for each season of TOS – will take you back in time and put you into the producers' offices, the writers' room, onto the soundstages, and in front of your TV sets for the first historic broadcasts. Included are hundreds of memos between Roddenberry and his staff, production schedules, budgets, fan letters, behind-the-scenes images, and the TV ratings, documenting the making of each episode of "The Classic 79" in staggering detail. Buckle your seat belts, the trek of a lifetime begins here.
- This is going to be the bible to Star Trek® and how it was made.This is a book that I'm going to keep near and dear and utilize throughout my life. – Rod Roddenberry

Background information
Featuring a foreword by Mary and John D.F. Black, the book was first published as a hardcover edition in August 2013 and provided background and production information from "The Cage" through "Operation -- Annihilate!". In format the book differed greatly from previously released episode guides or companions, as it exclusively contained background and production information, and had therefore more in common with the 1968 reference book The Making of Star Trek (which was acknowledged by the authors). The only recounting of the episodes was strictly limited to the blurbs as they were originally published in contemporary TV Guide issues, or in CBS press releases. Richly illustrated with black and white photographs, this was reinforced by the fact that not a single still of the actual productions was included, but only publicity shots and behind-the-scenes imagery. Many of these were provided to the authors by noted American collector Gerald Gurian, who served as an archivist/photographer on the editorial staff of the publisher [1]. Gurian stated, in response to a perceived copyright violation accusation, "All of the photos in the book that are credited to me come from my personal collection of thousands of images. I started acquiring these rare pictures in the early '70s with over 800 film clips obtained from Gene Roddenberry's company - Lincoln Enterprises - at that time and have continued to steadily grow my collection since then. Many of these behind the scenes photos appear all over the internet these days - as many multiples were sold by Lincoln - and they are all public domain. Most in the book have been shown on my website since 2008 onwards; although I've had them in my possession much longer, and I've personally restored / retouched all images that appear in the book with Corel Paint Shop Pro software. And despite my photo editing efforts ... they are still public domain and it is perfectly appropriate for any publisher to reprint them." [2]
A second, revised edition was published in a hardcover, softcover and Kindle format, on 30 December 2013, containing an additional 80 pages.
