I've just realized that on Amazon, the image of the Klingon Dictionary displayed now shows a "red" Klingon Dictionary instead of the usual white one.
Thanks for sharing this, I haven't seen that either.
I cannot explain why this happened. Even if someone at Amazon "accidentally" added this image, it's still the question where it came from? A quick google search did not reveal anything similar.
Is it just a reprint of the 1992 edition with a new cover, or are there new words too? (reH mu'mey chu' tu'lu' 'e' vItul ;) )
I doubt it's a reprint, since the preview shows the old pages, and the ISBN is the same as the original version. A new book would not have the same number.
Also read the comment on the Klingon Wiki: (I think I'll add the red cover there just for confusion - haha) http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/NewKlingonDictionary
Reprints will have the same ISBN; new editions will not. I would imagine they've reprinted it due to all the Klingon in *Discovery,* but had to give it a new cover, because the Klingons look completely different now and "Including New Material from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek VI" isn't exactly relevant. Alas that they did not take the opportunity to commission a third edition—not that I would have expected them to.
Here's the publisher's page: http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Klingon-Dictionary/Marc-Okrand/Sta... It's the same book. In fact, I have the book (formerly with the white cover) in Google Play Books and it just got updated to the new red cover. -- De'vID
