I saw a preliminary versionl if I'm lucky, Lawrence won't kill me for what
I'm going to say (he sometimes likes to keep his little surprises).
It's a small book (when I saw it it was about the size of a HolQeD, and
likely is still about the same). It contains pictures drawn by Gennie
Summers (I think), the same person who drew SeQpIr's face in Hamlet and has
done quite a few covers for HolQeD in the past. Each cartoon shows a
picture of a situation in which a particular verb-suffix is appropriate.
So there might be a picture of a Klingon tripping and falling while trying
to walk with the caption "yItHa'" (he walks baly/miswalks). I say "might"
because I know there isn't; the examples given are better and much more fun
to see. All the verb-suffixes are covered, and the artwork is VERY nice.
