Salvage Law

Salvage Law was a textbook publication dealing with the topic of space salvage law, authored by Michael Riley. By the 23rd century, where most reading was done via computer and computer tapes, this volume was a rare printed anachronism that was part of the collection of James T. Kirk. Cadet Kirk had this book, along with several others, in the bosun's locker aboard his first shuttle command, the warp shuttle Spitfire. When Ensign Leonard McCoy was a passenger on Spitfire, he commented on Kirk's propensity for hardcopy paper volumes.
