Trek Collective Lists: Star Trek books by Paula Block and Terry Erdmann

This is a list of Star Trek books written by Paula M. Block, and Terry J. Erdmann. Both authors have written a few Star Trek titles on their own, but the majority of their Star Trek credits have been shared efforts from the married couple. They are best known for the many behind-the-scenes books they have written, but their other credits include other types of non-fiction books, and a few fiction stories.
