Sadly, this sort of thing seems very unlikely. But then, you never know...
Maybe the nation will go Klingon crazy when Hamlet comes out! Maybe Paramount
will decide the time is right to cash in and reprint the dictionary. Maybe the
next ST film will be about the Klingons coming to rescue the Federation from the
Borg! (What a good Klingon word for "assimilate?") Anything could happen.
A couple of years ago I received a letter from a prison inmate who was studying
Klingon (David Barron has a number of prisoners taking the Postal Course). He
wanted to know if he could sell hand copied versions of TKD, lovingly penned
because there were several prisoners who were interested in Klingon and they
only had the one copy of the book to go around.
A number of us have entered the entire glossary into those little electronic
organizers. This is a very portable way of keeping TKD with you and not having
to flip back and forth from the addendum. Plus, entering in all those words
does wonders for your familiarity of them.
If you're coming to Kling-Kon, after you've seen David's tattoo, ask to see my
electronic dictionary.
