William Shatner: A Bio-Bibliography

While most people immediately think of William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk of Star Trek , few realise that he began his professional acting career at the age of eight and has appeared in Shakespearean festivals, regularly-scheduled radio roles, university and regional playhouses, live television drama and more than 50 motion pictures. This book provides a short biography and a detailed record of all his performances.
