The 2nd Edition sold a lot more copies than the first did, and I doubt there were many who bought the first who didn’t also by the 2nd.
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. -- De'vID
