This is really good! (Well, if you don't see the point in reading on fictional languages - don't!) In my opinion, Klingon is the most creative conlang (of those, who reached a broader audience) ever created. Marc Okrand pushes the reader beyond the known (indo-)european structeres and introduces her/him to a whole new range of possibilities. We owe him much for this! As a linguist I whished for scientific terminology to be used more often but I can live with it. And for all those who do not understand why the grammar part is split: In 1992 an addendum was published that forms the second part at the end of the book. Of course, a third edition combining both parts could have been published by now.
