To quote Azetbur, ghu'maj Dayajbe'law'. I'm negotiating with people who
have *the actual sales data*. I actually doubt that many people who bought
the first edition also bought the second. Like SuStel, I think that the
majority of people who bought TKD bought it as a novelty item and have
never tried to learn Klingon seriously (and therefore wouldn't necessarily
buy another copy, *unless* they were enticed with something like updated
content that reflects the new shows they're currently watching). But
whether your belief or mine is correct is meaningless if it isn't backed up
by hard data. I cannot go to the publisher and tell them I think a 3rd
edition will sell well because of somebody's *belief* that most people who
already own a copy of TKD will buy another.
