A Book to Color, published in 1967, was the first TOS anthology and the second Star Trek book, following January 1967's Star Trek 1 novelizations by James Blish. Its three original coloring book stories were the earliest licensed Star Trek stories, predated only by Gold Key Comics' first issue. The book was released in two editions, 80-page #9570 and 112-page #9670, each containing the same stories. Story details were updated for reprinting in 1975, split into two anthologies, Coloring Book C1856 and Coloring Book C1862.
