That indeed is the main problem. Why should they put effort in a book
which is already selling very well? And if it's not, why should they
make an updated version?

When I proposed my Klingon teaching book to them, they said that they
already have three books about Klingon, and don't need another one. :-(

Yes, true. It should remain as short as possible and only include minor
hints on usage, in the same short way it does in the original.
Additional, detailed information should remain in special books by the
KLI or other publishers.
