I really wanted to like this book, because it features probably the earliest published Star Trek fan fiction, as well as Kirk/Spock related fiction (albeit not too explicitly portrayed). However, the writing is very poor and most stories are rather boring. The Winged Dreamers surprised me with its Kirk/Spock twist, and Mind Sifter was the most interesting story in this collection.

Nevertheless, I'm glad I read this book. I got a glimpse of what fanfiction was like in the 70s and got to read Gene Roddenberry's forward and members' of the cast introductions to individual stories.
