Introduction: James Doohan gives us a run down of his castmates on the set of Star Trek: The Original Series. Here's how the ol' transporter worked for Scotty. Interestingly enough he co-authored the book with famed Star Trek comic book writer Peter David so it 'kenna be all that bad Captain'. Something tells me he may have has a flair for the dramatic, but he was such an adorably charming fellow I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I certainly cannot attest to its sense of truth or dramatic license so I'll have to take it on face value. Some folks have been brutal and particularly unkind. I've seen some of the critiques out there on Doohan's book. I probably had my hands full with tribbles upon its initial release. So, since I missed the book upon its initial run in stores I had to get industrious.

Doohan and little interest surrounding his life on the whole by publishers looking to make a buck it would seem unlikely another opportunity to read about the man's life would come along. Additionally with the unfortunate death of Mr. I love my local bookstore too, but they can't find gems like I Am Spock or Beam Me Up, Scotty and deliver them to my doorstep unfortunately. I scored a fairly mint copy off an Amazon seller. Beam Me Up, Scotty: Star Trek's "Scotty" In His Own Words has been out of print for some time and save having to spend roughly 50 dollars on the book from someone it can be a tough find. My latest excursion into the literary world would be this fairly difficult to find autobiography on the late, great Star Trek alumnus James Doohan as our friend Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott otherwise referred to simply as Scotty. " He's dead Jim." This is true Bones, which is why it wasn't easy attempting to learn more about this seemingly fine man.
