  Welcome to the list, Larry.

   From the tlhIngan-Hol FAQ ( 
  http://higbee.cots.net/~holtej/klingon/faq.htm#1.3.8 ):

      1.3.8  Klingon for the Galactic Traveler (c.1997)
        The newest book from Marc Okrand.  This book contains detailed 
  information on
      Klingon dialects, history, and variation.  It also contains an updated 
  Addendum
      to TKD, which makes this book a true necessity for any Klingonist.
      ISBN: 0-671-00995-8

  If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy or can't special order it for 
  you, you can buy from the KLI (Klingon Language Institute) by going to 
  their Merchant Page ( /stuff/Merchant.html ).  Here's 
  their blurb:

     Klingon for the Galactic Traveler: $12
       The newest book by Marc Okrand (ISBN: 0-671-00995-8) is described as the
     essential Klingon language reference for galactic travelers. A necessary
     addition to any Klingonist's collection, it contains many new words as well
     as detailed discussions of Klingon slang, regionalisms, and specialized
     vocabulary. (c.1997)
