Here's an idea. Who would be interested in publishing coloring books, pencil
puzzle books (for those who like the challenge of tlhIngan Hol while taking a
dump), or a comic book, not just strips? These small things could lead to
others seeking the language. For instance: a crossword puzzle with all tlhIngan
Hol words with their translation next to them. A list of tlhIngan Hol words
and their translations on a word search. I would certainly buy that, and I am
sure the investment of a few dollars rather than $20 or so would entice a
great deal more people to investigate the language if for a lark if nothing else.
