Books like The Star Trek Encyclopedia

My Trekkie friend gets out of the car, "Hey I have a present for you.""Oh?""Well, I mean, you can't keep it."Now at this point I'm wondering what sort of present is not kept.She hands me a book, "It's a Star Trek encyclopedia."Seasoned Trekkie from Trekkie family loans a Trek encyclopedia to a relatively new watcher who is (sadly) only 17 episodes from the end of TNG.A comment on being almost done with TNG: I want to watch DS9, but I'm really going to miss Data. I love Data.Now, my Trekkie friend and her family are very against spoilers, yet they have loaned me this giant encyclopedia. I hate spoilers.Am I going to read this encyclopedia anyway?Yes. Because it looks amazing.Also because I will have to give it back and I don't think I have time to watch the rest of the Trek franchise before a reasonable loaning period has passed.
