TAKEI, George. To the Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei. New York. Pocket Books, 1994. 1st UK edition with the jacket price in UK currency. Pp x, 406. Illustrated with b&w photos. Bound in blue cloth over blue boards. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Inscribed and signed by the author on the front endpaper. The inscription is also somewhat autobiographical. Takei had a decades-long feud with William Shatner. The inscription reads "To Jeff, Bill Shatner thought this would be a stupid gift, but the hell with Bill Shatner". The recipient is unknown, but the inscription suggests that he was known to Takei, and that the book was a personal gift. It also highlights the personal feud, with Shatner, in a humorous manner. $150
