Best of Trek

Trek: The Magazine for Star Trek Fans was a fan magazine started in the mid-1970s which lasted into the early 1980s. A series of The Best of Trek book collections were published starting in 1978; each being a collection of articles taken from the magazine along with (especially in the later volumes) newmaterial. I don't have any of the original magazines, but I do have the first thirteen of the eighteen Best of Trek volumes published to date.
