ghobe'. Nope. That is not the case. The above was clipped from the B&N
webpage (which has the TKW tape too). I have seen this in the B&N store,
too, and assumed it was just a tape of the novel - now I'm not so sure.
I have the TKW tape [Which I think is excellent - and *I* put no
qualifications on recommending it. I'd put TKW audio and print form as
the intro to Klingon for just about anyone], in fact, I posted a brief
review and recommendation hereabouts as soon as it came out, BTW.
