Witty Subject Line

Great book that discusses more than just the language, but the history and where the different dialects come from and their use in this complex language. A must own for those serious about the Klingon language

...

"A warrior fights to the death." That quote alone speaks volumes about "The Klingon Way." Star Trek Klingon for the Galactic Traveler is an excellent addition to your Star Trek library. Not long after reading through this book, I almost felt as if this were a real culture I was reading about. Some of the Star Trek "extras," as like to call them are at best, superfluous. That is not the case in this book. If you're even remotely interested in or intrigued by the Klingons, this book is worth the price. My only complaint, as with other Star Trek "extras," is that it's peppered with black & white photos. Thank you very much to the author for this one.

Nice book to learn tlhingan

This seems to be the best book if you are trying to learn the Klingon Language "tlhingan". It includes a dictionary and a grammer part. Really nice!
