I have to be able to convince the publisher that the new edition will sell better than the previous one.
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. :-(
to a general audience. Having 10 pages on how to compare two things in Klingon, or having a 400+ page book that explains how to use every verb in detail, might be desirable to hardcore Klingonists, but will likely be considered off-putting to a general audience.
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. -- Lieven L.
