Picard's Spock Book

Seen in the library at Château Picard and then presented by Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard to Evan Evagora as Elnor in the Star Trek: Picard season two episode #201 “The Star Gazer,” which aired the week of March 3, 2022. “The Many and the One” was a memoir written by Spock regarding the challenges he faced as one of the first Vulcan cadets in Starfleet. Picard owned a first edition of this book which he kept in his personal library at Château Picard. In 2401, he gifted it to Elnor upon his assignment to the Excelsior. In response to Elnor's concern that his excitement could distract him from his studies, Picard quoted from the book: "Exhilaration enhances the absorption of knowledge." The book is bound in forest green leather, has four raised bands on the spine and is stamped in gilt on the spine and cover. The spine and cover read “Spock ‘The Many and the One’” and has the Vulcan IDIC symbol. The cover also has vertical Vulcan writing. The book is fully printed, has a copyright date of 2320, and its dedication page reads "For Jim." The text of its first page was adapted from Memory Alpha's article on Spock. The book is 5 ½” X 8 ½”. The prop came in a prop department clear zip lock bag labeled “201 SC.28 SPOCK BOOK WALK.”
