Pocket Books took a big risk when they did each of the Klingon books. I doubt that the demand from the larger population would warrant another edition of TKD, but the few who would want it would want it A LOT, myself, included.
It would be very nice to have TKD just as it is with the two halves folded together in the appropriate sequence, with a current, complete word list with the few corrections it needs. Like, maybe read it on my iPad? Very nice.
As an aside, my wife and I are reading a book on brain plasticity. All on her own, she showed interest in learning Klingon, because it might exercise her mind. Without any pressure from me, she got TKD off the shelf and went through the introduction. I started teaching her basic pronunciation and a sketch of the most basic grammar features, including verb prefixes.
If this keeps up, we might make it to next year's qep'a'. No promises. I won't do it solo, but if she were actually interested...
pItlh.
