The Klingon Dictionary - red edition?
Hi everyone! 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. I've never seen this! It looks like Amazon has actually replaced the product image on the product page, because when I checked in my orders history, the image for the TKD also shows the red edition instead of the white one which I had received at the time. It is strange, but it looks cool though. Check it out! https://www.amazon.com/Klingon-Dictionary-Star-Trek/dp/067174559X 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 ;) ) Qapla'! ghItlhjaj chIS'a' tlhIngan Hol mu'ghom? ghobe'. Doq!

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.

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.

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. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

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
I'm just glad the new reprint has a red cover, and not green or yellow. Makes it easier to distinguish from the first edition. }}:-) ghot1: chIS tlhIngan Hol mu'ghomwIj. gh2: SuD 'ej wov mu'ghomwIj chu''e'. gh3: SuD 'ej Qop mu'ghomwIj wa'DIch. -Tad sent from my smartphone telephone On Tue, Mar 27, 2018, 8:58 AM De'vID <de.vid.jonpin@gmail.com> wrote:

I've done some more research, and this seems to be the 2018 edition of The Klingon Dictionary, with an updated cover. See: http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Klingon-Dictionary/Marc-Okrand/Sta...
Is it just a reprint of the 1992 edition with a new cover,
Very likely, yes. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/NewKlingonDictionary
